Lithics

Lithic illustration is probably the most challenging area of archaeological illustration as they require – more than other archaeological artefacts – an understanding of their manufacture in order to accurately represent them. As one illustrates a lithic they are uncovering the process of its production.

As such, close liaison with the Prehistoric finds specialist is highly valued, and we are receptive to their observations regarding lithics manufacture.
