This short paper explores the possibility of conducting high-performance computing simulations of complex fire propagation in buildings of archaeological interest. The simulation protocol described here involves several steps: (i) the geometric modelling of the buildings, (ii) the mathematical modelling of combustion and fire propagation, (iii) the numerical simulation using a Large Eddy Simulation approach on parallel systems and (iv) the real time rendering of the simulation data. Numerical examples are provided to emphasize the efficiency of the approach and its importance in supporting research in archaeology and validating hypotheses through simulation.
