    Final thoughts on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2025-02-072025-02-07

    I finished the game after 30 hours. Last time I wrote that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (IJatGC) might have a chance of replacing my favourite IJ game, Fate of Atlantis. And I have to say, at least they now share first place. Story-wise, IJatGC is a really, really good game. Much better than…

    Second Archaeogaming Hackathon in Darmstadt

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2025-01-242025-01-21

    At the end of last year I offered a first Archaeogaming Hackathon in Cologne. I also reported that it was quite successful and that we were planning to do more. Well, here it is, we have just announced the second hackathon, this time hosted by the Technische Universität Darmstadt. Between the 16th and 18th of…

    My second CIDOC CRM workshop

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2025-01-172025-01-21

    Today I went to my second CIDOC CRM workshop. As before, the workshop was led by Stephen Stead, one of the people who started the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model Special Interest Group (CRM-SIG). He has been working on the CRM since 2000 and is one of the editors who helped to make the CRM an…

    Book Review: Die Hängenden Gärten von Babylon by S. Schweizer

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2025-01-102025-01-16

    I came across this German book on the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in a local castle gift shop. “Die Hängenden Gärten von Babylon” was written by Stefan Schweizer, a professor of European garden design in Düsseldorf, Germany. I was intrigued by the cover and the title as I had done some research on gardens in…

    My top five books of 2024

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2025-01-032025-01-16

    According to Goodreads, I read 18 books in 2024. That’s just two short of my target for the year. I’m going to try again this year, and I’m almost done with my first one. But there is still time to look back and do a retrospective of the top five books I read in 2024….

    Day 4 in Beijing (4/4)

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2024-12-272025-01-16

    So in September 2024 I went to China to attend a conference. Before going to Changchun, where the conference took place, I spent four days in Beijing. This is my account of those four days, divided into four parts. This post is day 4 of my far too short trip to Beijing. You can find…

    The first five hours with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2024-12-202025-01-16

    Look, I have played my fair share of Indiana Jones games. I even wrote a long chapter about them. For the longest time, the Fate of Atlantis was my favourite, because the puzzles and the story were incredibly good, and still are. Even for a 1992 game. However, the new game Indiana Jones and the…

    Short report: Archaeogaming Hackathon Cologne

    BySebastian Hageneuer 2024-12-132025-01-16

    I recently announced that I would be organising an Archaeogaming Hackathon event. Last weekend we finally did it and it went great! We had three groups and each produced a small but playable game in just two full days. I was really fascinated by the simplicity of the software and the possibilities with no prior…

Portrait of Sebastian Hageneuer
Sebastian Hageneuer

Hi, I'm Sebastian — archaeologist, digital humanist, and project builder. I work at the intersection of ancient West Asian seals, data, and digital methods, while also exploring teaching, writing, and open science. Here, I share (almost) weekly thoughts on archaeology, technology, and academic life — with the occasional sidetrack into games and experiments.
