Field
archaeology is a very visual subject – it is what we see
in the soil, in the landscape and in objects that we record
and discuss. Archaeological illustration and survey together
cover all types of graphic, non verbal communication. Like other
forms of communication, it has a ‘language’ of its
own, expressed through the use of accepted conventions, which
is a powerful means of expressing ideas. Archaeological illustration
and survey are central to recording fieldwork, publishing results,
presenting analysis and communicating interpretation. Practitioners
must combine skill in technology, understanding of the subject
matter and a creative approach to communication through graphic
means..
