Emerging in the 1990s, Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) is gradually gaining ground in the human and social sciences. In this paper, we present a brief overview of their use in archaeology in the United States and Europe, as well as three models (ROMCLIM, FER-AGRI, ModelAnSet) we recently developed to study the impact of environmental and climatic...

This paper aims to take stock of the potential impact of the climate changes of Antiquity and in particular of the "Roman Climate Optimum" on the production of olive oil in the Roman Empire. It presents an overview of olive cultivation and the perspectives for different types of modelling (agro-ecosystem and multi-agent) that will be developed...

Considered archaic and suffering from a "technical blockage", Roman agriculture has long been studied by historians solely through Latin agronomic treatises. This reflection on the nature and performance of this agriculture has benefited in recent decades from the contribution of numerous archaeological, bioarchaeological (archaeobotany,...

Bringing together a wide array of modern scientific techniques and interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides an accessible guide to the methods that form the current bedrock of research into Roman, and more broadly ancient, wine. Chapters are arranged into thematic sections, covering biomolecular archaeology and chemical analysis,...

This article presents the FER-AGRI agent-based model that we developed to study the impact of climate change on cereal production and population demography in southern Gaul between the 7th century and the 1st century BC. This ABM simulates at an annual time step over these six centuries the population growth of populations in the context of...

We will present here an example of agent-based model which permit to simulate a dynamic of settlement of during roman period in south of France, according to the variations of agricultural yields under climate control. The model simulates the impact of yield changes on subsistence and commercial agriculture. Different types of villas and farms...

Ce poster fait le point sur les travaux menés au sein du projet pluridisciplinaire RDMed au CEREGE (Aix-en-Provence) pour évaluer grâce à diverses méthodes de modélisation (LPJmL & SMA) quel a pu être l'impact du réchauffement climatique de la période romaine sur les sociétés dans le sud de la Gaule.
