This book is the result of three years of collaboration, travel and discourse between the artists Joey Bryniarska and Martin Westwood, and archeologists working in France and Sweden. Brought together through the European Commission funded NEARCH project the book is a companion piece to three large scale diagrams and an audio-visual sculpture.

The authors propose a grouping of hagiographic, architectural, administrative, physiologic and mediatic motifs as grounds to describe their encounters with archeologists, archaeological and inter/trans-disciplinary methods in general. The attic of a gothic cathedral, the rumour of a contaminated spoil heap on an archipelago, an underground carpark and the remainders of a decapitation, are some of the sites sketched, in order to develop the dynamics of: communication/isolation; access/exclusion; division/unity.

Contrasting minor textual and visual genres: the postcard, the travelogue, the sketched diagram and the email; along with historical narrative, speculative writing (both analytic and imaginary) and a critique of disciplinary processes, we have aimed to merge both lived and historical experience in order to articulate relations within and between fields of research and practice. This publication is concerned with relaying historical and contemporary information through the description of specific collaborative environments, to propose analogies for the affective encounters experienced. The aim is to present an instance calibrating these three factors.
