Stonehenge 2007 - Rebecca Davies

During my time at Stonehenge in 2007, I observed the team of archeologists follow a strict protocol when excavating and recording the evidence of their findings however this process was completely reliant upon their instinct, feel for materials and subjective interpretation of what they revealed. The human component became equally as integral as the practical process of excavating and recording.

I built up a series of drawings that recorded the human activity within the space rather than recording the space itself. I translated these moving variables into visual diagrams so I could find patterns and visual connections that would help me to explain how the archeologist plays an active yet subjective part in revealing and remodeling historic spaces.
