Document Summary
Historical view of archaeological illustration = romantic but still informative. Imaging sites: photogrammetry giles morrow, guest presentation. Building information modelling (bim: automatically generates 3d from 2d. Light analysis: archaeologists are interested in all of these things and how they intersect to form places/spaces/activities in the past, measurement of structure, build 2d plan, then generate 3d model. Mapmaking: geographic information systems (gis, must have : Technical drawings emphasize aspects of the artifact: artifact illustration is not artistic representation, encode information, can reconstruct fragmentary pieces, scales needed. Illustration orientation: orthographic projection = each view shows the nearest surface with a 90 difference. Lighting: conventionally we shade artifacts as though they are lit from the upper left. Lithic illustrations: oriented with the platforms down, draw flake scars, ripples from percussion, retouch, ripples indicate the direction of removal, measure artifact with calipers, dorsal and ventral view, highlight the features of interpretive importance.
