In this paper we briefly analyse the integration into web access of data recorded from the archaeological area of Khatm al Melaha (Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates), combining different geomatic techniques at different scales from a broad yet technical perspective. In order to improve scientific analysis, the documenting process should always consider every aspect of recording as well as preventive control, conservation and interpretation. Along these lines, some open–access, web–based 2D and 3D JavaScript libraries have been created to unify, simplify and analyse their different uses through a web platform called <i>threeDcloud</i>.
