The archaeological heritage constitutes the basic record of the past human activities; the documentation and management of archaeological heritage and historical sites become very important issues. The uses of new efficient and accurate techniques are very important for achieving the previous goals. In this paper, orthophoto, field surveying and Geographic Information System (GIS) were integrated for documenting the historical and archeological sites in Jerash city. A very precise two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D) Digital models were built using aerial photographs, GIS and a precise Laser Distomate. This leads to a 3D representation of the studied site for each part of the historical site. This will allow the restoration in case of slow deterioration caused by environmental factors or sudden destruction caused by earth quakes or other natural disaster or war or vandalism. After validation, the obtained results showed all details with high accuracy.ABSTRACT
