This open access book demonstrates the application of simulation modelling and network analysis techniques in the field of Roman studies. It summarizes and discusses the results of a 5-year research project carried out by the editors that aimed to apply spatial dynamical modelling to reconstruct and understand the socio-economic development of the Dutch part of the Roman frontier (limes) zone, in particular the agrarian economy and the related development of settlement patterns and transport networks in the area. The project papers are accompanied by invited chapters presenting case studies and reflections from other parts of the Roman Empire focusing on the themes of subsistence economy, demography, transport and mobility, and socio-economic networks in the Roman period. The book shows the added value of state-of-the-art computer modelling techniques and bridges computational and conventional approaches. Topics that will be of particular interest to archaeologists are the question of (forced) surplus production, the demographic and economic effects of the Roman occupation on the local population, and the structuring of transport networks and settlement patterns. For modellers, issues of sensitivity analysis and validation of modelling results are specifically addressed. This book will appeal to students and researchers working in the computational humanities and social sciences, in particular, archaeology and ancient history.

This essential gives an overview of current methods of analysis of stone artefacts ranging from attribute analysis of entire assemblages to microscopic use-wear analyses of individual artefacts. The approaches presented show the range of analysis of prehistoric stone artefacts in German-speaking countries. Simple application examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of each method. The content and structure of the essentials is identical to teaching units for learning methods of stone artefact analysis at the University of Tübingen in the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology. The content ● Attribute, transformation and working stage analysis ● Chaîne opératoire approach ● Analysis of techno-functional units ● Microscopic use-wear analysis The target groups ● Students and lecturers of archaeology and prehistory ● Lay people interested in archaeology and stone tools About the authors: Yvonne Tafelmaier is consultant for Palaeolithic and Mesolithic at the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Wuerttemberg. Guido Bataille is consultant in the World Heritage department at the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Wuerttemberg. Viola C. Schmid and Andreas Taller are research assistants at the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology at the University of Tübingen. Manuel Will is a lecturer at the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology at the University of Tübingen. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

This book tackles the difficult challenge of uncovering the pathogenic cause, epidemiological mechanics and broader historical impacts of an extremely deadly third-century ancient Roman pandemic. The core of this research is embodied in a novel systems synthesis methodology that allows for ground-breaking historical-scientific problem-solving. Through precise historical and scientific problem-solving, analysis and modelling, the authors piece together a holistic puzzle portrait of an ancient plague that is fully consistent, in turn, with both the surviving ancient evidence and the latest in cutting edge twenty-first-century modern medical and molecular phylogenetic science. Demonstrating the broader relevance of the crisis-beset world of the third-century Roman Empire in providing guiding and cautionary historical lessons for the present, this innovative book provides fascinating insights for students and scholars across a range of disciplines. Mark Orsag is Professor of European and Interdisciplinary History and Chair of the History Department at Doane University in the USA. Prior to this, he studied at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pennsylvania State University, and Michigan State University. Mark’s research is centered at the nexus of history and the natural sciences. Dr. Amanda McKinney is the founder/executive director of the Institute for Human and Planetary Health in the USA. She is a triple board-certified physician with a medical degree from the University of Nebraska and residency/fellowship training at the University of California-Irvine. She is a Collaborator in the Planetary Limits Academic Network, which “aims to raise awareness about critical systemic challenges facing the human endeavor.” Her ongoing research encompasses both plant medicine and how planetary limits will impact US healthcare. DeeAnn M. Reeder is Professor of Biology at Bucknell University in the USA. She is a wildlife biologist who studies disease ecology, behavior, physiology, and conservation. Having previously studied at UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Boston University, DeeAnn’s current research explores the relationships between bat health, ecosystem health and human disease risk. She holds a research position at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC.
