I’ve spent enough time wrangling databases to know that a good client can make or break your day. You don’t want flashy UI or convoluted abstractions – you want a tool that connects, lets you query and understand your data, without getting in your way. For me, that tool…
Over the last couple of days, I participated in the International Conference on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East. Or, in short, ICAANE. This time the venue was Lyon, France, a very pleasant place. I gave a presentation myself, but I also attended many presentations given by others….
The first two months of my new job are now behind me, so I thought it would be worthwhile to look back on them. It has certainly been an intense time: commuting to another city, getting involved in an existing project that feels new to me, and meeting lots…
Last week, I went to the second DiKopA workshop in Darmstadt (I already teased). The theme? “Digital Competencies in Archaeological Disciplines.” Does that sound a bit unusual? Yes, but also: very relevant. For two days, the workshop brought together researchers, teachers, students, and technology experts to discuss archaeology and…
The Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) conference took place in Athens, Greece, between the 5th and 9th of May. As usual, I took part and I don’t regret it. It was my first time in Athens, and I will certainly come back.
It is a bit short notice, but for mid-May we are organising a two-day DiKopA workshop on teaching and learning in archaeology in Darmstadt. We have organised one before, but this is the second one. I would like to share the now finalised programme with you and of course…
I have a new publication (no, this time not about video games) that I co-authored a paper on the state of digital and computational archaeology (DCA) in Germany. I published the paper with my old colleague and friend Sophie C. Schmidt. The paper is published in the journal it…
Today I actually have some big news. I have started a new job and in a new city (sort of)! I am a project coordinator in a newly started project on Mesopotamian seals. Actually, I am not the only project coordinator, as this is a joint project between the…
As I reported, the DiKopA network held a second Archaeogaming Hackathon in Darmstadt last February and we now have the results online. The two groups produced two unique Archaeogames based on the RPG Maker MV software, and you can play both of them directly in your browser. But before…
Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2007) is a really powerful critique of neoliberal economic policies imposing in times of crisis. She argues that governments and corporations take advantage of social and political upheaval. They do so to push through free-market reforms that primarily benefit…

Hi! My name is Sebastian. I am an archaeologist, a university lecturer, freelancer, guitarist, and father. You could say I am quiet busy, so I learned to manage my time and energy to build good habits and still have space for myself and my family. Sounds difficult? Read here how I do it. (Nearly) Every Friday.
