Archaeological Illustration
The illustration service covers all aspects of archaeological graphics and illustrations for incorporation into internal and client driven documents such as reports, publications and archives, as well as for web-based presentations.
Archaeological Finds
Illustrations of at least rare and delicate objects found during evaluation and excavation are required by local authorities.
Technical archaeological drawings remain the superlative means of recording fabric, dimensions, surface decoration, tool-marks and construction detail – visible in the third-angle projection or cross-section of an object. L – P’s archaeological illustrators are experienced in the technical requirements of this type of drawing, which often includes accurate measurement of minute detail and free-hand replication of design.
Archaeological Reconstruction Drawings
A combination of topographical and archaeological data and historical sources is used to recreate a visual interpretation of a site. Reconstruction images transform dry technical records and illustrate past land use.
Site Plans and Map Regression
L – P archaeologists regularly digitise historical maps and georeference to site plans for desk based assessment and evaluations. At the conclusion of the project these are added to the national Historic Environment Record.
Archaeological and Historical Landscapes
Digital reconstruction of buried archaeology is useful for Environmental Impact Assessment and at masterplan stage in regeneration and sustainable projects. 3D models can be created from GIS data gathered from an historic landscape survey or from that entered into ARK.
Historic Buildings Elevation
Scale elevation drawings are created in AutoCAD as part of the historic building recording service.
