Description

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.
