Description: Practical Archaeogaming by Andrew Reinhard As a sequel to Archaeogaming: an Introduction to Archaeology in and of Video Games, the author focuses on the practical and applied side of the discipline, collecting recent digital fieldwork together in one place for the first time to share new methods in treating interactive digital built environments as sites for archaeological investigation. Fully executed examples of practical and applied archaeogaming include the necessity of a rapid archaeology of digital built environments, the creation of a Harris matrix for software stratigraphy, the ethnographic work behind a human civilization trapped in an unstable digital landscape, how to conduct photogrammetry and GIS mapping in procedurally generated space, and how to transform digital artifacts into printed three-dimensional objects. Additionally, the results of the 2014 Atari excavation in Alamogordo, New Mexico are summarized for the first time.

Report on the Recovered "Atari Burial Ground" Material, Condition, and Post-Excavation DispersalConclusionBibliographyIndex Review "…it really fleshes out what archaeogaming looks like in its multiple and varied incarnations. In that respect, it dovetails well with the authors previous book Archaeogaming which was more prescriptive about what archaeogaming could or should be. In that respect, its rare and interesting (and valuable!) to see a field get defined and then realized, and (with certain caveats) I could see the two volumes packing a one-two punch employed in classrooms or in graduate programs, providing focus and direction for aspiring archaeologists interested in this open field somewhere between digital archaeology and media archaeology." • Shawn Graham, Carleton University Details ISBN1805395335 Publisher Berghahn Books Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781805395331 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-05-03 Imprint Berghahn Books Place of Publication Oxford Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience Professional & Vocational UK Release Date 2024-05-03 Pages 250 Author Andrew Reinhard We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
