Abstract
Archaeological illustrations, or more specifically the illustrations created to depict archaeological sites and artifacts, have developed over time to portray a wide range of information types. I plan to examine the varying uses of illustrations in the portrayal of three Neolithic sites: Silbury Hill, the Avebury Stone Circle, and Windmill Hill, all located in Wiltshire, England. This examination will also allow for the consideration of what types of illustrations were used for which intended audiences and how public and academic illustration differ. This analysis will draw from the theoretical approaches put forth by Stephanie Moser and Stuart Piggott in their discussions of the development and use of archaeological illustrations. As an extension of this main goal, this paper will give an explanation of the history of archaeological illustration and the use of such illustrations over time, as well as how modern media types are now intersecting with classic illustrations.
