Archaeological Illustration (U00195)? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : HCA-3-Allius This course is not solely about drawings and does not aim to teach students to become expert in draughting, surveying or photography. It does aim to introduce them to some of the complexities surrounding the visual presentation or archaeological material and to teach them the value of visual material, how to assess it, create it and use it. Visual presentation in archaeology covers a wide range of formats from the drawing and photography to museum display, conference exhibition or site presentation.
