Maya Hoole is a researcher and illustrator who had created an independent research project based on her rediscovery of an excavation archive. She believed that the archive deserved more attention, and that the records and physical remains could be analysed further. A surprising amount of information about the 'Ava's' life was revealed and the initial research needed to be presented to the public.

​Maya's style of illustration lent itself to a graphic novel format, and we collaborated to create three roll-up banners telling the story of the original excavation, the archives, and research findings. Further analysis has since superseded some of these initial conclusions, and more information can be found at Maya's website.

Although this work was undertaken some time ago, it remains a memorable and highly rewarding project to have been involved with.
