SimFeodal: an agent-based model to explore the combined effects of social and demographic changes on the hierarchy of rural settlement patterns in No…

International audience; In North-Western Europe, regional settlement patterns that were dispersed in 800 CE became much more concentrated and hierarchical in 1200 CE (Tannier et al. 2014). This phenomenon occurred in all regions but the resulting level of concentration and hierarchy of settlement patterns differed notably among the regions. Several processes jointly explain this major transition (Cura et al. 2017). •The dismantling of the Carolingian Empire and the dissipation of powers induced struggles among lords and thus a rise in violence. The result of this was the creation of castles as well as an increase of the need of protection for peasant households•The militarisation of the soc…
Formalization of scientific process and conceptual modelling for the study of territorial and products distribution dynamics (ArchaeDyn II programme)
2012
International audience; The ArchaeDyn team has investigated territorial dynamics by comparing areas over long time spans between the Neolithic and Modern times. Datasets on various themes have been shared and indicators and analytical models produced. This paper presents both the formalization of the scientific process used in the ArchaeDyn programme and a conceptual model of the systems and components so that synchronic and diachronic comparisons can be made. The aim is to clarify the transition from an archaeological feature (a site or an artefact) or a recording unit (survey area) as the input, to the characterization of spaces describing a system as the output. The approach is described…
