The Illustration department has always been an integral part of the Trust's output, our current staff have over 25 years experience in the production of publication standard illustrations for academic monographs and journals, from measured artefact drawings, technical and isometric diagrams, to site plans, maps, and cross-sections. Their experience and understanding of the wider archaeological audience enables them to provide both creative and accessible graphics for all our clients' needs.

We also produce pictorial reconstructions turning the raw data collected from archaeological fieldwork into meaningful images that brings to life the people, objects, places and landscapes of the past.
