The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the possibility of presentation of prehistoric sites in locations where there is neither any preserved construction, nor any relic of the original landscape. Such sites usually meet with indifference both from the public and from institutions involved in preservation of historical monuments. The possibility of creating virtual and augmented reality proved to be a potential tool to grasp the invisible and to describe the disappeared. Using the examples of the Neolithic sites in Bylany near Kutna Hora and Prague Vinor and Bronze Age site in Zalezlice we show a potentially powerful tool for digital heritage management.
