Modelling and Simulation to Teach (Classical) Archaeology: Integrating New Media into the Curriculum

Abstract: Digital modelling and simulation are increasingly becoming integral tools for historical research, making them relevant elements of any archaeological curriculum. In this chapter, we explore how creating reconstructions with these tools can be incorporated into programmes of study: modelling aids in critical analysis of source material, while simulations enable the critical integration of pragmatic, sensory aspects into interpretations. The use of each promotes specific forms of critical thinking that empower … Show more

“…Just as reproduction of analyses teaches students the processes of knowledge creation, digital modeling and simulation can achieve similar ends. Holter and Schwesinger (2020) have argued that the use of 3D modeling of architecture or virtual simulations of past events encourages students to engage with the data itself, understanding how it was created, learning about biases, and questioning its fidelity through modeling. Graham (2020) has argued for similar ways of learning archaeology through agent-based modeling, albeit not in a classroom context.…”
