Contextes spatiaux et transformation du système de peuplement: approche comparative et prédictive

2011

We propose a method to identify and simulate settling choices Roman rural settlements using predictive modeling, based on the method developed in the 1990s by F.-P. Tourneux within the Archaeomedes project to characterize and compare the environmental contexts of Roman rural settlements in several areas of southern France. We have developped the model for three regions with very different topographical conditions : The Vaunage region (Languedoc, France), the Argens-Maures region (Provence, France) and Zuid-Limburg (Netherlands).

Estimating “land use heritage” to model changes in archaeological settlement patterns

2016

International audience; In this paper, we present a method to calculate a “land use heritage map” based on the concept of “memory of landscape”. Such a map can be seen as one variable among others influencing site location preference, and can be used as input for predictive models. The computed values equate to an index of long-term land use intensity. We will first discuss the method used for creating the land use heritage map, for which kernel density estimates are used.We will then present the use of these land use heritage maps for site location analysis in two study areas in SE France. Earlier analyses showed that the influence of the natural environment on settlement location choice i…
