The Genetic Structure of an Historical Population: A Study of Marriage and Fertility in Old Deerfield, Massachusetts (Titlepage)
Population growth and collapse in a multiagent model of the Kayenta Anasazi in Long House Valley
A s the only social science that has access to data of sufficient duration to reveal long-term changes in patterned human behavior, archaeology traditionally has been concerned with describing and explaining how societies adapt and evolve in response to changing conditions. A major impediment to rigorous investigation in archaeology-the inability to conduct reproducible experiments-is one shared with certain other sciences, such as astronomy, geophysics, and paleontology. Computational modeling is providing a way around these difficulties. k Within anthropology and archaeology there has been a rapidly growing interest in so-called agent-based computational model
