Inquiry and Modeling: Turning Misconceptions into Informed Knowledge
Author(s): Emma R Richardson
Year: 2020
Summary
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Urban Archaeology: Down by the Water" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
The redevelopment and revitalization of Alexandria’s waterfront has resulted in significant finds, including four historic ships. Meaningful interpretation requires acknowledging and harnessing public misconceptions about the ships and the surrounding maritime cultural landscape. Archaeologists woring in the public sphere are accustomed to battling common misconceptions of the process and goals of archaeology. This paper reflects on the use of inquiry and model-based reasoning in programming to allow the public to rewrite these misconceptions and construct their own informed knowledge.
