Computational Simulation Methods for Exploring Small Artifact Assemblages
Author(s): Jon Carroll
Year: 2015
Summary
Archaeologists often decline to work with artifact assemblages considered too small to analyze in favor of working with larger assemblages that ostensibly allow for more confident statements about the past. This paper discusses the role of Agent Based Modeling (ABM) and the potential it holds as an important new analytic tool through which to explore small artifact assemblages in a meaningful way.
