What's New in Archaeology

CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

BLURRING TIMESCAPES, SUBVERTING ERASURE

Remembering Ghosts on the Margins of History

Edited by Sarah Surface-Evans, Amanda E. Garrison

and Kisha Supernant

Drawing on archaeological, historical, and ethnographic data, Blurring Timescapes, Subverting Erasure demonstrates the value of conceiving of ghosts not just as metaphors, but as mechanisms for making the past more concrete and allowing the negative specters of enduring historical legacies, such as colonialism and capitalism, to be exorcised.

AN ENCHANTMENT OF DIGITAL ARCHAEOLOGY

Raising the Dead with Agent Based Models, Archaeogaming, and Artificial Intelligence

Shawn Graham

The use of computation in archaeology is a kind of magic, a way of heightening the archaeological imagination. Agent-based modelling allows archaeologists to test the ‘just-so’ stories they tell about the past. It requires a formalization of the story so that it can be represented as a simulation; researchers are then able to explore the unintended consequences or emergent outcomes of stories about the past. Agent-based models are one end of a spectrum that, at the opposite side, ends with video games. This volume explores this spectrum in the context of Roman archaeology, addressing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of a formalized approach to computation and archaeogaming.
