“Virtual Archaeology: Learn to be an Archaeologist” is based on the scientific and archaeological method, covering everything from fieldwork to laboratory analysis. After a brief introduction to archaeology and the game's dynamic from our mascot Claudia, we are shown a bird’s eye view of a site containing a cut which is ready to be excavated. At different levels, the player finds movable objects with descriptions and some structures of historical buildings (an Islamic house, Roman baths). Once the excavation is complete, the game moves to the laboratory, where an interpretation of the excavated material is carried out: the different strata and excavated objects are studied in order to identify and date the structures found. Having achieved this, the player is given a three-dimensional reconstruction of the buildings discovered, accompanied by a concise explanation which concludes the game.
