This volume, originally published in 1989, is intended as a
practical guide to archaeological illustration, from drawing finds
in the field to technical studio drawing for publication. It is
also an invaluable reference tool for the interpretation of
illustrations and their status as archaeological evidence. The
book's ten chapters start from first principles and guide the
illustrator through the historical development of archaeological
illustration and basic skills. Each chapter then deals with a
different illustrative technique - drawing in the field during
survey work and excavation, drawing artefacts, buildings and
reconstructions, producing artwork for publication and the early
uses of computer graphics. Information about appropriate equipment,
as well as a guide to manufacturers, is also supplied. An obvious
and important feature of Archaeological Illustration is the 120
line drawings and half-tones which show the right - and the wrong -
way of producing drawings. This volume will therefore be of
interest to amateur and professional archaeologists alike.
