Welcome to VirtArch

Welcome to VirtArch.

A blog dedicated to exploring the marvelous opportunities of Archaeology in a Virtual environment. The blog will primarily focus on virtual worlds in gaming, but will also from time to time look at some other examples of virtual archaeology.

There are so many aspects of archaeology in gaming; heritage, education, simulation, and many many more. Hopefully through this blog I can shed light on as many of these aspects as possible and try and broaden the horizons of this topic. Here's a short list of what to expect in the coming weeks;

  • Minecraft and the Minster
  • Chivalry - The human side to conflict
  • Real Time School - RTS games as an education
  • Ancient people in a Modern World, MMORPGs and Archaeology

If you want to know more about what to expect then watch this space for an informative video coming your way soon.



In the meantime see if you can find Wally in this stunning screenshot from the latest Rome Total War game. Click here for larger version
