Críticas

"Reinhard's willingness to move between the densely philosophical, the methodological, and the colloquial would make this book a nice option for an introductory archaeology class where students learn about theory, methods, procedures, and techniques, but less frequently have opportunities to put these ideas into practice...Reinhard's book provides both the student and the scholar a way to think about what this kind of work will look like." - The Archaeology of the Mediterranean World "This is a stellar piece of work that moves beyond disciplines and worlds." - Anna Foka, Ume University

Reseña del editor

Video games exemplify contemporary material objects, resources, and spaces that people use to define their culture. Video games also serve as archaeological sites in the traditional sense as a place, in which evidence of past activity is preserved and has been, or may be, investigated using the discipline of archaeology, and which represents a part of the archaeological record. This book serves as a general introduction to "archaeogaming"; it describes the intersection of archaeology and video games and applies archaeological method and theory into understanding game-spaces as both site and artifact.
