Although archaeological illustration shares many things with scientific illustration it has its own conventions and techniques. Here are a few recommended books and resources for anyone interested in archaeological illustration:

Archaeological Illustration by Lesley Adkins & Roy Adkins

Student’s Guide to Archaeological Illustrating by Brian Dillon

Approaches to Archaeological Illustration - A Handbook by Mélanie Steiner - particularly good as it covers the techniques used by illustrators in great detail.

There are various technical papers published by The Association of Archaeological Illustrators & Surveyors:
