This article presents a research project aimed at the survey, modelling, graphic restitution, and elaboration of immersive fruition projects of one of Sardinia’s most peculiar monuments: the prehistoric altar of Monte d’Accoddi, the only monument in the whole of Europe and the Mediterranean basin that can be traced back to the type of altar with steps sloping upwards, morphologically similar to the better-known ziggurat and today a candidate together with the regional system of prehistoric sites for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Although the wealth of archaeological evidence in Sardinia has stimulated numerous experiments in recent years in the field of the application of digital technologies to the representation and enjoyment of the region’s cultural heritage, the altar of Monte d’Accoddi has not yet been the subject of actions of this type. It requires the experimental study of an operational method calibrated to the specificities of the site itself, which will be presented and discussed in this article. Moreover, the experimentation presented seeks to respond to the need to foster the cultural accessibility of the sites and the transmission of knowledge to different types of audiences with different levels of literacy, including digital literacy and different abilities. An operational method is therefore proposed that is capable of using the most advanced surveying, modelling, and restitution technologies both for high-tech fruition of the sites, aimed at users with a strong propensity to use digital tools, and a low-tech one, more suited to meet the needs of users belonging to other demographic and socio-cultural categories.
