Abstract

Software is an architectural outcome of human labor which today houses the collective creative output of billions of people. Video games are a subset of software; they enable users to create their own built environments within a digital framework which can be shared with others for enjoyment, but these are later subject to abandonment and destruction. These digital constructions in synthetic, ephemeral spaces provide a unique challenge to archaeologists: how to document, preserve, and analyze archaeological evidence of human occupation of digital spaces, especially when that period of occupation can last mere minutes and can vanish from the digital landscape without a trace

交互式数字建筑环境中人类建筑的快速考古

软件是人类劳动的架构产物，今天容纳了数十亿人的集体创造性产出。电子游戏是软件的一个子集;它们使用户能够在数字框架内创建自己的建筑环境，并与他人共享以供享受，但这些环境后来会被遗弃和破坏。这些合成的、短暂的空间中的数字建筑为考古学家提供了一个独特的挑战:如何记录、保存和分析人类占领数字空间的考古证据，特别是当这段时间的占领可能只持续几分钟，并且可能从数字景观中消失得无影无踪的时候

期刊介绍： The Journal of Contemporary Archaeology is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to explore archaeology’s specific contribution to understanding the present and recent past. It is concerned both with archaeologies of the contemporary world, defined temporally as belonging to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as with reflections on the socio-political implications of doing archaeology in the contemporary world. In addition to its focus on archaeology, JCA encourages articles from a range of adjacent disciplines which consider recent and contemporary material-cultural entanglements, including anthropology, art history, cultural studies, design studies, heritage studies, history, human geography, media studies, museum studies, psychology, science and technology studies and sociology. Acknowledging the key place which photography and digital media have come to occupy within this emerging subfield, JCA includes a regular photo essay feature and provides space for the publication of interactive, web-only content on its website.
