Subject: [CHA] Archaeological Drawings

Hello all,

Just a quick message to ask for some possible help please. I have just
received an email from an Architecture student who is doing a project that
includes archaeological style survey drawings - he sent me this:

I've done a little research under the references you gave me last Friday. I
picked up a book called 'Theatre/Archaeology' by Mike Shanks which is of
some theoretical use and his work into 'deep mapping' sounds fascinating and
certainly touching on my topic of research. However, i'm still struggling to
find any visual representation of archaeological survey/mapping drawings
which I might use as a crib. I'm looking for something along the lines of an
autopsy drawing of an old patinated wall or element of urban fabric rather
than a landscape survey. Something that breaks down into an archaeological
kit-of-parts perhaps.

I wondered if anyone might know off-hand something that might help him
please?

He is called Rob and his email is: [log in to unmask]

Thank you - and hope you had a top Easter!
