ABOUT

I was commissioned to create some reconstruction illustrations to accompany a series of Key Stage 2 educational materials for teachers, based on the Bronze Age settlement site at Must Farm.
The illustrations were to show a cross section of houses in the Must Farm settlement showing structural and environmental detail as well as possible activities that would have taken place during its 3 main phases; construction, occupation, and destruction by fire. Alongside this were vignettes relating to the site but taking place elsewhere such as hunting and farming, and a modern scene showing stratigraphy of the site 3000 years later.
Having worked on the original evaluation, excavation, and post-excavation of the site this project was even more special and enjoyable for me. It was an amazing opportunity to work on something creative for inspiring future generations of archaeologists.
