The Treasure Act: Volume I (2009)
This archaeological reference book adopts the format of an archaeological report, presenting a layered, fictional account of a burial site and its excavated content. The book offers a disjointed historical account, collating drawings, objects and texts by the artist; alongside transcribed, edited and recomposed content from withdrawn library books and out-of-copyright publications, via open source websites.

The Treasure Act contains ceramic works and images produced during a experimental archaeology course in ancient pottery.
