Village Ecodynamics Project Settlement Model Version 5.4 (VEP I)

Part of the Village Ecodynamics Project I project

Creator(s): Village Ecodynamics Project; Kyle Bocinsky; Tim Kohler

Year: 2006

Summary

This is the Village Ecodynamics Project settlement model version 5.4, which was reported in:

Kohler, Timothy A. and Mark D. Varien, eds. 2012. Emergence and Collapse of Early Villages: Models of Central Mesa Verde Archaeology. University of California Press, Berkeley, California.

These data were created following the empirical Bayesian methods reported in:

Ortman, Scott G., Mark D. Varien, and T. Lee Gripp. 2007. Empirical Bayesian methods for archaeological survey data: An application from the Mesa Verde region. American Antiquity 72(2):241.

The method combines survey data, ceramics, and tree-ring dates—among other indicators—to estimate the population (in households) of over 4000 archaeological sites in a 1700 square kilometer area of southwestern Colorado, United States.

In addition to the map in Varien et al. 2007, the spatial scope of these site data is mapped in:

Kohler, Timothy A., C. David Johnson, Mark Varien, Scott Ortman, Robert Reynolds, Ziad Kobti, Jason Cowan, Kenneth Kolm, Schaun Smith, and Lorene Yap. 2007. Settlement Ecodynamics in the Central Mesa Verde Region. In The Model-Based Archaeology of Socionatural Systems, edited by T. A. Kohler and Sander E. van der Leeuw, pp. 610-104. School for Advanced Research Press, Santa Fe.

Because of the sensitive nature of the site locations in these data, they have been marked "confidential." Please request access from the data contacts.
