Graphics

We have a flexible, efficient and highly productive graphics department who are able to provide most kinds of illustrative material, from drawings to accompany the shortest report, to glossy publications and display material. We use Computer Aided Design for all types of mapping, technical drawings, report illustrations and publication drawings. We also use GIS for spatial and chronological analysis of archaeological and landscape data. The results of all standing building surveys are also drawn up in CAD.

We endeavour to facilitate the exchange of graphical information with our clients at all stages of a project, in the format most useful to them. Our finds illustrators are all either experienced archaeologists or draughts people, who use both manual and digital illustration techniques. Artistic reconstructions based on excavated evidence are also part of the service we can provide.
