Situation
Purpose is to break down and visualize a large amount of data and complex systems (objects of archeological excavation) with the help of visual notation systems.

The research aspires to find visual tools to depict and contextualize archaeological data by a more efficient access to the information in favour to an accurate knowledge transfer in between specialists and broad audience within the context of publications and museums.
