Analog and
digital games (e.g., video, role play, board, card, pedagogical, and
alternative games) are platforms for modeling and experiencing events in
fantastic, modern, or historical settings. When devising games based on
ancient, historical, and archaeological contexts, an informed and critical
approach is essential, lest games perpetuate problematic narratives or provide
inaccurate representations of the past. “Rerolling the Past” builds
off of the recent increase in academic studies of games to show how games can
serve as a fruitful avenue for communicating information about the ancient
world. This conference will bring together historians, archaeologists, scholars
of gaming, and game designers to discuss three intersecting themes: archaeology
in/of games; pedagogy and games; and critical approaches to game design. We
hope to acknowledge and address common issues and challenges that cut across
disciplinary divides and envisage how increased collaborative initiatives can
be developed in the future.
