چکیده
The utilization of virtual worlds as a research and collaborative practice is rapidly growing in archaeology, although largely restricted to prehistoric and monumental sites. This article outlines the application of virtual technologies to the historic site of Rosewood, Florida. In addition to reviewing a wide range of creation and delivery methods for virtual content, the author discusses the ability of digital storytelling to produce multi-vocal representations of archaeological contexts. While the central goal focuses on elaborating the current possibilities of virtual archaeology, a secondary current invites readers to conceptualize the transformative potential of new media in regards to historical archaeology. As new media practice, the combination of virtual archaeology and digital storytelling offers a new toolkit for engaged scholarship. This innovative approach stimulates a democratized practice that is not restricted to classic forms of mass standardization routinely found in traditional forms of interpretation and dissemination.
