The use of computation in archaeology is a kind of magic, a way of
heightening the archaeological imagination. Agent-based modelling
allows archaeologists to test the 'just-so' stories they tell about
the past. It requires a formalization of the story so that it can
be represented as a simulation; researchers are then able to
explore the unintended consequences or emergent outcomes of stories
about the past. Agent-based models are one end of a spectrum that,
at the opposite side, ends with video games. This volume explores
this spectrum in the context of Roman archaeology, addressing the
strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of a formalized approach
to computation and archaeogaming.
