Archaeology as Theatre in Second LIfe

Posted by Jeff Aldrich

While browsing the neighborhood not too far from my own "estate" in SL, I came across this remarkable site. The pictures tell a bit of the story, and the conceit is simple enough, but really worth a visit to the Cavorite Mines and Exoarchaeological Philology Visitor Centre (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Alice/102/52/77/). Imagine an abandoned "cavorite" mine, some intriguing artifacts strewn about, a great tethered iron kite... There's even an old leatherbound copy of H.G.Wells' The First Men in the Moon, unabridged.

SL seems to be growing at a great speed according to the statistics on the site. I haven't heard of it until recently.
