Afroasiatic Workshops
WAMt: The Workshop on the Afroasiatic Middle t-Morpheme was held on the 8-9 of May 2024 in Edinburgh. Head to our website for slides, handouts, and updates on the proceedings!
Workshop of Afroasiatic prefixes vs. suffixes: Unaffiliated with my WAMt, the workshop series on Afroasiatic affixation is tailored more towards generative approaches in Afroasiatic linguistics. Check it out here. The proceedings are available here.
Late Babylonian Priestly Literature
The Late Babylonian Priestly Literature project investigated the corpora of texts produced in (South) Mesopotamian temples in the last few centuries of cuneiform culture (ca. 400 BCE-70AD). Given the radically changing socio-economic landscape under foreign rule, we argued for a new genre of emerging texts, namely “writings that claim explicitly or implicitly traditional or ancient origins, although they were in fact products of a period contemporary with, or shortly preceding, the date of the manuscripts that are preserved.”
Texts and editions can be found here.
The associated database of Late Babylonian Signs (LaBaSi) can be found here.

Social Media / Blogs
Formerly, I was quite active on Twitter (X), posting about Akkadian letters and their histories/contexts. Though I am no longer on the platform, the letters still are. The thread of threads is pinned. 🙂
