Actually there is a technology which is even older....Less than 10 years ago, I worked on a site in the southern United States for a well known American museum. After a while I was a little concerned that we were leaving sections all over the place but no-one was drawing them. The site director assured me that all was well. Last week of the excavation a guy turned up with an easel and a set of watercolours and recorded the sections in much the same way that John Constable might have.
