Abstract
The authors emphasize the role of play and fun in the past and the present, and aim to make it a central topic in archaeology based on Huizinga ’ s (2016) seminal work on the topic. It is of course hard to disagree with this, just as it is for other contributions that urge us to pay more attention to aspects of past lives outside of those studied by the mainstream, including light, sound, childhood, etc. Giving play in the past the attention it deserves will enrich archaeology and make it even more
