Archaeology has inspired some New Zealand art.


Carol Fletcher is a Raglan based artist. In some of her output she works with found objects - the sort of items that archaeologists conserve from sites or pick up on field surveys. She displays these in the form of arrays or organised series as if the objects were being formally classified. Brown (2009:128) notes her training is in mathematics and anthropology but not archaeology.

An example of her work can be seen here.
