Ah, the "S-100 Virtual Workbench"—because nothing says cutting-edge like emulating a 40-year-old computer bus 🤖💾. Who needs modern tech when you can play digital archaeologist in your spare time? 🏺🦕 Maybe next, they'll release the 'Virtual Abacus' for all the hipsters needing retro calculations! 🔢😅

[problem solved] Has anyone got a copy of the CAA Proceedings 2012? My university doesn't have a Taylor & Francis ebook sub and the more, ehem, nefarious routes to finding such things has failed me.

doi: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003690962

Specifically I want to have a look at the chapter "The Long and Winding Road" by Verhagen et al.

😆 Ah, the Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux—because nothing screams "cutting-edge technology" like a fossilized OS gasping for relevance! 🚀 It's a digital archaeology dig where Codeberg's finest laboriously resuscitate 64 #Assembly, proving once again that nerds will do anything to avoid doing anything useful. 🖥️💾

Just back from the 53rd CAA conference in Vienna! 🏛️ A packed week – I presented the KIŠIB project, co-organised an archaeogaming session with Aris Politopoulos (10 talks, consistently high quality!), and was impressed by new approaches to automatic cuneiform translation.
The organisation was excellent, and the ice breaker was hard to beat. New blog post with my full report:https://itsmoreofacomment.com/2026/04/10/caa-2026-in-vienna-a-conference-report/

Ah, the digital archaeologists have risen from their basements to resurrect a 1991 classic, because clearly, Civilization 1 was just *too cutting-edge* for modern minds to handle. ⚰️🔧 Meanwhile, #GitHub is busy drowning us in #buzzwords like "Copilot" and "Spark" to make sure we know they're still pretending to invent the future. 🚀🙄

Some good news: I won the 2025 Teaching Award at the University of Cologne's Faculty of Arts & Humanities for my 3D documentation and modelling courses! 🎓 I wrote a blog post reflecting on what this means to me – why good teaching needs time, why practical components are often neglected in academia, and why awards like this matter for making teaching visible.

✨ New blog post! I was interviewed by @berliner_antike_kolleg about my opinion on archaeoinformatics. But rather than reposting, I reflect on what I couldn't say in 10 questions:

🤖 My honest ambivalence about AI in archaeology 🎓 Why archaeoinformatics isn't a service discipline 🎮 The excavation video game that should exist but doesn't

In the annotation of pictorial elements on ancient seals, machine-supported systems are useful for detecting recurring shapes and visual patterns. What they don’t provide is context: ambiguity, wear, iconographic convention, or cultural meaning.

Annotation is not a neutral technical step.
It is the moment where interpretation turns into structured data.

That’s why expert control is not optional, but essential.

For the #DigiArchMaintainathon I just updated the open-archaeo roadmap: https://github.com/zackbatist/open-archaeo/blob/master/ToDo.md

This involved checking off some completed items on our to do list, adding a few new ones, and restructuring the document for greater clarity.

I also added definitions to tags that previously did not have one 😅

New article out! 🎉 "Archaeology and interdisciplinarity after the digital turn" just published in Rethinking History.

I explore how archaeology has always been interdisciplinary – and how RTI, machine learning & archaeogaming push this even further.

Spoiler: My students' game "The Schliemann Experience" made it in! 🎮

🛠️ Exploring the Past Through Innovation
Join us at the HKU InnoWing Carnival 2025 for a special talk on how technology is helping us better understand the ancient world.
🗓️ September 25 | 14:30–15:30
📍 Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing One, HKU
📌 LED Wall & Brainstorming Area
At HKU, archaeology meets engineering in a unique way. Each summer, our team runs a fieldwork project in Armenia, excavating a 3,000-year-old fortress. This work is also a chance for testing new tools — from 3D recording and AR/VR to machine learning and AI.
The talk will highligh t how these technologies are shaping the way we explore the past, and how students can get involved in meaningful, hands-on research experiences.
Whether you're curious about archaeology, passionate about innovation, or simply looking to learn something new, you're warmly invited to join us.
🎙️ Speakers: Prof. Peter Cobb, Ms. Navya Gupta, Ms. Shuya Lu, Mr. Hayk Azizbekyan

🛠️ 以創新探索歷史
歡迎參加HKU InnoWing Carnival 2025 的一場特別講座，探討科技如何幫助我們更好地理解古代世界。
🗓️ 9月25日 | 14:30–15:30
📍香港大學 Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing One
📌LED牆及Brainstorming Area
在香港大學，考古學以獨特的方式與工程學相遇。每年夏天，我們的團隊都會在亞美尼亞進行實地考察項目，挖掘一座擁有3000年歷史的堡壘。這項工作也是測試新工具的機會——從3D錄製、AR/VR到機器學習和人工智慧。
講座將重點介紹這些技術如何塑造我們探索歷史的方式，以及學生如何參與有意義的實踐研究體驗。
無論您是對考古學充滿好奇，對創新充滿熱情，還是只是想學習新知識，我們都誠摯邀請您加入我們。

ICYMI: 🏺 How did light shape religious experience in ancient Mesopotamian temples?

We investigated this by reconstructing and analysing lighting conditions in four common types of sacred architecture from the ancient Near East.

Using standardised 3D models, we simulated how natural light entered temple spaces.
