New concepts like agent-based modelling are providing social scientists with new tools, more suited to their background than other simulation techniques. The success of this trend will be strongly related the existence tools capable fulfilling needs these disciplines. Given computational requirement realistic models, high-performance computing infrastructure is often necessary perform calculations. At present, such resources unlikely available humanities researchers. Having developed...
Cultural adaptation has become central in the context of accelerated global change with authors increasingly acknowledging importance understanding multilevel processes that operate as takes place. We explore explaining cultural by describing how leading to (mis)adaptation are linked through a complex nested hierarchy, where lower levels combine into new units organizations, functions, and emergent properties or collective behaviours. After brief review concept "cultural adaptation" from...
Complexity science refers to the theoretical research perspectives and formal modelling tools designed study complex systems. A system consists of separate entities interacting following a set (often simple) rules that collectively give rise unexpected patterns featuring vastly different properties than produced them. In recent years number case studies have shown such approaches great potential for furthering our understanding past phenomena explored in Roman Studies. We argue complexity...
<title>Abstract</title> The archaeological traces of warfare define a complex heritage scenario as these traumatic historical events generate contested political narratives. Republican fortified line known Bilbao’s Iron Belt reflects the tensions different narratives surrounding Spanish Civil War in Basque Country. These sometimes are materialised through vandalism actions (abandonment, graffiti, destruction), which counterpose new visions to official narrative. This article explores around...
Formal Models and History Computational models are increasingly being used to study historical dynamics. This new trend, which could be named Model-Based History, makes use of recently published datasets innovative quantitative methods improve our understanding past societies based on their written sources. The extensive formal allows historians re-evaluate hypotheses formulated decades ago still subject debate due the lack an adequate framework. initiative has potential transform discipline...
Traditionally, Least Cost Paths (LCP) are used for exploring mobility across archaeological landscapes. However, LCPs only highlight optimal paths, and implementing maritime is arduous. In this paper, Circuit Theory (CT) analysis to analyse potential mobility. Key the effect of wind patterns, dependent on month direction travel, This applied case study urbanism in Roman Adriatic, it shown that CT provides considerably more quantitative data than LCP. These can then be deeper landscape,...
Understanding the patterns and processes underlying heterogeneous distribution of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) across communities natural resource users is a growing research topic. However, social organization as factor potentially shaping TEK intracultural has received scant attention. Here, we analyze role played by kinship groups—namely, patrilineal lineages segments—in bodies among group seminomadic pastoralists in India. We use two quantitative approaches (score based...

The emergence of digital Game-Based Learning (GBL) has sparked interest in assessing its efficacy. This assessment needs to consider the complex mix narrative and interactivity typical video games, which makes it difficult evaluate what extent a game achieves stated learning objectives. challenge is exponentially increased when gaming sessions happen spontaneously informal contexts, without any supervision by educators or option assess players’ prior knowledge skills. work presents...
The Peace of Utrecht (1713) ended the War Spanish Succession as a global European conflict. However, treaty abandoned to their fate territories that had supported Archduke Charles. Resistance House Bourbon was focused in city Barcelona, which immediately put under siege. Catalan government managed create powerful army outside siege belt capital. This force, comprising almost 5,000 soldiers, attacked similar small town Talamanca on 13 August, 1714. commander, Marquis Poal, successfully...
AbstractComputational models have been extensively used in military operations research, but they are rarely seen history studies. The introduction of this technique has potential benefits for the study past conflicts. This paper presents an agent-based model (ABM) designed to help understand European tactics during eighteenth century, particular War Spanish Succession. We use a computer simulation evaluate main variables that affect infantry performance battlefield, according primary...
