Socio-environmental dynamics of Roman settlement systems: the ArchaeDyn and IHAPMA projects
We are focusing on the effect of previous occupation on settlement pattern. The basic concept used is the 'memory of landscape', considering that occupation of archaeological settlements also reflects human investment in the surrounding area. As soon as rural communities settled somewhere, they reshaped the landscape by delimiting parcels,...
In this paper, we describe an exploratory analysis of the possibilities of combining least cost path analysis and network analysis techniques. Accessibility is a potentially important site location factor. So far, the definition of accessibility has been approached through the creation of accumulated cost surfaces and least cost paths. However,...
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...

Starting from networks created...
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...
Contextes spatiaux et transformations du système de peuplement : approche comparative et prédictive
Des contextes spatiaux aux processus transformation de l'habitat rural : l'apport de la modélisation prédictive
In this paper we present the results of a study into integrating socio-cultural factors into predictive modelling. So far, predictive modelling has largely neglected the social and cultural dimensions of past landscapes. To maintain its value for archaeological research, therefore, it needs new methodologies, concepts and theories. For this...
Settlement patterns and path networks represent different but connected perspectives on human-environment interaction through movement, manifested through the appropriation and organisation of landscape by societies. Settlement patterns and path networks evolve with unharmonized temporalities, but in constant interaction which render the...
