Pünktlich zum 150-Jahre-Jubiläum der Ausgrabung in Olympia wurden jetzt auch die von uns transkribierten Tagebücher zu den Grabungs-Kampagnen III und IV publiziert. Die Tagebücher I und II liegen bereits vor, Tagebuch V wurde von mir dieser Tage zum Redigieren gegeben.
Tagebuch VI wird noch ein paar Monate dauern.

Hier die TB III und IV:

🕹️ Archaeogaming isn't all fun & games.

At #CAA2026 in Vienna, Aris Politopoulos & I are co-organizing a session on the promises and problems of play in archaeology.

⚖️ Topics: accessibility, ethics, inclusion, critical storytelling, AI tools, XR platforms & more. Whose past gets played? Who gets to play at all?

🛠️ 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。
🎙️演講嘉賓：Peter Cobb 教授、Navya Gupta 女士、Shuya Lu 女士、Hayk Azizbekyan 先生

Back in December (https://notacult.social/@carbontwelve/113605555389780617) I went looking for a lost #TUI game from 1999.

I'll eventually publish the essay I wrote on this hunt but it's suffice to say it's truely lost to time.

Recently this week I begun upon a similar venture, this time seeking a MMO I played back in 2003-2005 that had 3D graphics and was set in space.

It was very nice to see several people come to my assistance in this chapter of my delve into #DigitalArchaeology
