Archaeological Redrawing of Plans

Screenshot of a Redrawing On this page, you will find all necessary information to do archaeological redrawings with the software AutoCAD. The information is divided into different chapters, as we sequentially progress. Each chapter is available as a wiki article to read or as a video to watch and go along. Both formats cover exactly the same topics, so you can choose which format suits you the best. The video will be available at the end of each chapter.
