    Arc Haeolog Ic Al Draw Ing: An Excurse On Drawing Techniques and Specific Archaeological Methods

    Uploaded by

    MischievousLoki
    This document outlines techniques for archaeological drawing, including basics of light and shadow, different archaeological materials, and specific methods. It covers drawing pyramids as an exercise and depicting various materials like stone, bone, metal and ceramics. Details are provided on drawing lithic artifacts with orientation, outlines, ridges, inner structure including Wallner lines and cortex, profiles and cross sections. The goal is to realistically portray artifacts through consideration of lighting, forms, patterns and level of detail.

    The outline of the artefact can be drawn
    with the help of rulers or a pencil that is
    square with the artefacts edge.

    Main ridges can be marked on


    several dots with the help of pointing
    down. Afterwards the dots can be
    connected to a line. 12

    dra wing techniques: silex artefacts


    The inner structure: Wallner-lines; Cortex (bark);
    The Wallner-lines distinguish the direction of percussion and they are used to ad the three-dimensional
    affect . Wallner-lines in the left, the light facing side, should not cover more than a quarter of the space;
    on the right side, the dark side, the lines can cover around two thirds.

    If the side-retouching is to fine, it should be shown in a extra


    drawing.

    Cortex-areas are shown mostly with the help of dotted fields. Their
    dissemination is based upon the light situation and the form of the
    surface.

    dra wing techniques: stone artefacts


    Artefacts out of rocks can have several presentation methods. In
    regular stones with shell-fractions are drawn with Wallner-lines and
    solid lines; other material with dotted areas or transverse lines.
