Catalhoyuk: A Very Neolithic Halloween

First is a paper:  The Life and Death of Virtual Çatalhöyük in Second Life

Abstract: From 2007 until 2011, OKAPI Island in Second Life hosted a virtual reconstruction of the Neolithic village of Çatalhöyük. This simulation included reconstructions of current excavations, past and present life ways at the site, a virtual museum, and hosted several forums and open days. Using the reconstruction we hosted a mixed reality session, filmed machinima, held university lectures, and collaborative virtual building sessions. OKAPI Island in Second Life was an incredibly fertile proving ground for re-thinking our assumptions about archaeological interpretation and outreach.When Linden Labs, the makers of Second Life, decided to end the educational discount that made OKAPI Island affordable, a team of students and professors at the University of California, Berkeley made the effort to preserve the virtual reconstruction by record, a process that is familiar to archaeologists. After the “death” of a virtual reconstruction of an archaeological site, what lessons can be learned about digital materiality and preservation? How can we use the example of Çatalhöyük in Second Life to inform our future reconstructions? What is next for collaborative virtual work in archaeology?

Witch-hazel: Stanford Archaeology: Randy Haas - Time, place, and emergent complexity in forager societies, Am curious how we might add your field sites digitally and virtually into Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Earth / with TensorFlow (and even with Translate ...

... and which could/would even involve re-conceiving the book ... e.g.

Leaf: Re-conceiving the book - Printable on paper out of a Realistic Virtual Earth (conceptually like Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth ...), text in a sidebar and for ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy (thinking virtual Harbin Hot Springs in a realistic virtual Harbin here) which could be co-authored ... whereas traditional book on paper is text oriented from the beginning, has two covers and leaves of pages in the middle, and a beginning, middle and end.

Part of this realistic virtual earth for archaeology project I'm heralding would involve engaging Wikidata / Wikibase, which is the structured knowledge database in ~300 languages, and Wikipedia's backend. 

How best to add all of the past archaeological research / data / photos / video (simulations too) into such a realistic virtual earth simply with a film-to-3D interactive realistic virtual world application (which program isn't written yet)?

Looking forward to staying in touch about your research and all of this, and good luck with your dissertation defense! Thanks again for your great and detailed approach to archaeology re your "The Complexity of Open Spaces at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük, Turkey" presentation. 

All the best, Scott

PS 

Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and which I'm planning too for at the atomic / cellular levels in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here, and "walk""4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA: http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ While Street View and the Google platform have a ways to go, I think it's the best (launching) platform for a variety of reasons. . (Perhaps CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School's matriculated students in ~200 countries' official / main languages can help with developing this with time - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Archaeology - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects).
