Indiana University of Pennsylvania has carved out a virtual dig for its
archaeology students in Second Life. Archaeology Island is
the creation of Beverly Chiarulli, associate professor and director of
IUP Archaeological Services, and Scott Moore, associate professor of
history. In the IUP Second Life world, students can explore accurate
re-creations of a Mayan pyramid, a Native American village, ruins in
Cyprus and a sunken ship. Students
can see re-created versions of what structures that are now in ruins
once looked like. Images of artifacts have been scanned and can be
viewed in 3-D. They can even take a virtual dive around the shipwreck.
