I just published my article Archaeology as Worldbuilding, an effort that grows out of 20+ years of digital (and analog) archaeological making. Adjacent to recent arguments about storytelling, I broaden our scope to make past worlds & tell stories in community with others.

in going to step in here and suggest that historians might find value in the rich archaeological literature about reconstruction drawings, their ethics and perils as well as the scholarly work they do.

The ethics are certainly an issue, fully agree. But with regards to the image in se, there is no reason to consider an AI-generated image of, say, a Roman city less ´historical´ than a drawn image of a Roman city - and we´ve always accepted the latter.

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man!
