| Résumé : | As early back as the Renaissance and the interest of the Antiquarians for ancient artefacts, drawing has played a key role in the formation of archaeology as a science. And despite the numerous advances of technology since the last century, drawing remains an essential tool for the archaeologist. Scale drawing provides the most appropriate way to record the data from the excavation, while well established conventions add complementary information to the representation of the various finds (pottery, stone implements etc.). Because it imposes a detailed examination of the features or objects to be drawn, it also leads to a deeper understanding than by other techniques involving mediation between the author and the document (e.g. photography or 3D scanning). Drawing finally represents a powerful tool for the diffusion of the results of archaeological research toward a wide audience. On the basis of an experiment carried out in the Theban necropolis (Egypt), it is claimed that optimal results can be attained when the conception of these drawings is undertaken from the initial stage of the research, i.e. in direct relation with the fieldwork. |
