Taphonomy Simulator: The Science of Survival

Taphonomy Simulator: The Science of Survival Taphonomy Simulator Model the survival bias of material culture. P(S) = (D * Vc) / (1 + e -(E + τ)) Note: In this model, older objects (high τ) and better environments (high E) increase the probability of an object entering the "Curated Record." Taphonomy Simulator: The Science of Survival lets you explore this hands-on instead of only reading about it.

A study of how art and objects are collected, curated, and used to document community identity and material history. It focuses on Museum Curation, Material Culture, Cultural Heritage, Object-Based Research, Community Identity from the “Museums, Collections, and Cultural Heritage” section.

The sliders change the key inputs. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.

You'll build intuition for Museum Curation, Material Culture, Cultural Heritage, Object-Based Research, Community Identity — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Art alone.
