Today we’re sharing a sneak peek at the Trace Explorer, a part of the Tracing the Potter’s Wheel exhibition at the @allardpierson! For this mini game, we’re inviting you to step into the shoes of the archaeologist. Can you identify what traces are on each of the pots? Image details: 1 - The main menu of the game. Here you’ll find yourself in an archaeological lab, surrounded by sherd-filled crates. Your task is to study each of the pots on the table and record the traces you see on them. It seems pretty intimidating, but in the game you’ll find the tools you need to succeed. 2 - The Glossary, where the traces are explained in detail. You can see detail images there of what traces look like, highlighted to make identification easier. The description covers the shape of the trace as well as what might have caused it. 3 – Inspecting a pot. After selecting a pot from the table, you can study it by rotating it and switching between normal light and UV light to give some helpful hints! When you see traces, select them from the console to compile your report. This will be reviewed and scored by your digital supervisor! This mini game, along with the others, will be released on 1 October at the Allard Pierson’s ArcheoHotSpot and online. If you’re in Amsterdam in October, come have a look! If you’re not, we’ll be sharing links so you can play along in the digital exhibition. #immersiveheritage #playthepast #goingdigital #allardpierson #temporaryexhibition #interactivedisplay #museumathome #gamedev #minigame #devlog #heritageexplained #archaeologyexplained #experimentalarchaeology #madewithgodot #godot #b3d #wip (at Amsterdam, Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNi1Y6qUJ5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
