Simulating archeological models: Perspectives in protohistory
Original language description
Simulating archeological models: Perspectives in protohistory. The process of model building is one of the fundamental means of scientific reasoning and assessment of theoretical constructs. Most of the theoretical models in social sciences (specifically in archeology) are formulated through the basic descriptive means of common language. Developments in IT during the last decades and its accessibility have made available various computing methods in archeological research. The paper aims to outline basic features of the method called agent-based modeling (ABM), which allows the building of digital models to simulate artificial societies or other studied complex phenomena of archeological interest. Such models may reveal the behavior of featured systemic components and their influence on system dynamics (e.g. population dynamics or emergence of system properties of social structure). Generally the aim of the described method is the study of systemic micro-level properties and their output in macro-scale pattern generation (structural behavior). Finally, the paper outlines the most recent applications of this method to study society and its trajectories of development within the Roman Period in the Middle Danube region.
