Illustration ServicesThe illustrators’ contribution is vital to the archaeological process. They bring the past to life, with technical drawings showing how ancient settlements developed, how finds were made and used, and from such evidence, creating images of entire historic landscapes.

Our team have backgrounds in commercial and graphic arts and extensive archaeological experience. Their aim is to meet the needs of customers, whether a community proud of its heritage, a company wanting discoveries to reflect well on a new enterprise, or an exacting professional requiring informed and accurate detail.

Our work can be seen all around Worcestershire and beyond - interpretation panels, exhibitions, booklets, leaflets, educational packs, local journals, academic reports and digital presentations.

As well as the full range of archaeological illustration, we offer particular skills in prehistoric pottery, high quality reconstruction images and interpretation booklets.
