Our house philosopher/anthropologist Raymond Corbey has been an inspiration to generations of Leiden MA and PhD students through his focus on epistemology. It was great fun to edit a festschrift with wide-ranging contributions on archaeology 🏺, anthropology and philosophy with @shumon.bsky.social

Our new game is out on Steam, right now! Senet: Households has been waiting for millennia to be played especially by you and after all that time it's still completely free. The game is the result of a wonderful collaboration with a superb student team from the Utrecht School of the Arts.

Made a start on an archaeogaming starter pack - I'm sure I've missed people so please let me know if you'd like to join! I only included people who I think have explicitly referred to their work as being in the archaeogaming sphere at this stage. go.bsky.app/VFEGikJ
