ANS Publications Director Andrew Reinhard has published the first book of his own, on the intersection of archaeology and video
games. Congratulations! It's not numismatic, but check it out if you have an interest in either of the two topics. -Editor
ARCHAEOGAMING
An Introduction to Archaeology in and of Video Games
Andrew Reinhard
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.
Andrew Reinhard is the Director of Publications for the American Numismatic Society and is currently working towards his PhD in archaeology at the
University of York’s (UK) Centre for Digital Heritage. He coined the term “archaeogaming” and runs the archaeogaming.com blog and twitter. In 2014,
he and a team of archaeologists helped excavate the Atari Burial Ground in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
