DRAWING IS AN IMPORTANT METHOD IN ARCHEOLOGY

Defining the find drawing as the translation of the data unearthed in archaeological excavations into a language that can be understood by everyone, Head of the Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage in Istanbul Gelisim University, Asst.
