Description for Computational Approaches to Archaeological Spaces
This volume of original chapters written by experts in the field offers a snapshot of how historical built spaces, past cultural landscapes, and archaeological distributions are currently being explored through computational social science. Editor(s): Bevan, Andrew; Lake, Mark. Series: UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications. Num Pages: 330 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: HDW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 670.
This volume of original chapters written by experts in the field offers a snapshot of how historical built spaces, past cultural landscapes, and archaeological distributions are currently being explored through computational social science. It focuses on the continuing importance of spatial and spatio-temporal pattern recognition in the archaeological record, considers more wholly model-based approaches that fix ideas and build theory, and addresses those applications where situated human experience and perception are a core interest. Reflecting the changes in computational technology over the past decade, the authors bring in examples from historic and prehistoric sites in Europe, Asia, and the Americas ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Approaches to Archaeological Spaces
“The papers in this edited volume, which grew out of a 2010 University College London international archaeology seminar, are organized around three broad themes: spatial analysis, spatial modeling, and spatial experience. Roughly one-third of the book is devoted to each topic. The first set of three papers represents inductive, exploratory approaches to archaeological spatial analysis. The second set comprises four ... Read more
