Comparing Connectivity Patterns in Prehistoric Germany by Means of Network Analysis, Artefact and Site Distribution and a Reassessment of Human Mobility ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr)
Recent advances in the natural sciences, bioarchaeology and spatial analytical techniques have significantly improved our ability to reconstruct prehistoric human connectivity. However, traditional mapping approaches can often fail to integrate isotopic evidence with landscape modeling and artifact distribution comprehensively. This study addresses this gap by combining Least-Cost Path (LCP) analysis, spatial distribution of key archaeological ar…
Current Key Intersections between Theoretical and Computational Archaeology
Computational archaeology and theoretical archaeology often appear as separate domains within the field, each driven by distinct methodologies and objectives. Through the lens of discussions held at the 2021 Central European Theoretical Archaeology Group (CE-TAG) conference and analysis of a follow-up questionnaire, this study explores the current trends and intersections between these areas to identify opportunities for meaningful integration. W…

Resource dependency and communication networks in Early Neolithic western Europe
During the European Neolithisation Process, a pivotal facet of Neolithic population dynamics lay in the capability of agro-pastoral communities to procure high-quality raw material for stone tools. Whether this material was sourced from local geological units or got transported via large-scale communication networks is, however, not yet fully understood. To trace the distribution patterns of Early Neolithic resource dispersal, we present a multic…
Modelling land and water based movement corridors in the Western Mediterranean
The transportation of Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age ivory raw materials and artefacts across the Mediterranean has been in the focus of archaeological research for over a century now. However, tracing the flow of ivory has mostly been restricted to traditional theoretical models of raw materials distribution deriving from socio-culturally centred considerations. Environmental conditions, potential transportation networks and dissemination rou…
A ‘Divergence Problem’ of global explanatory models in-between science and humanities
Models are fundamentals in science, and particularly in archaeology (Clarke 1972 ; Drost and Vander Linden 2018 ; Lake 2014 ). Building on reconstructions of past human behaviour, all interpretations of archaeological records are ultimately models, i.e. simplifications of potential past ‘realities’, or more meaningfully interpreted as individually perceived life-worlds. Inherent in this concept is, however, that all models are never real but abst…
Modelling Bias and Environmental Preferences in Archaeological Spatial Analysis
Point pattern analysis (PPA) has gained momentum in archaeological research that models large-scale distributions of sites and explanatory covariates. As such, there has been increased interest in the bias of archaeological distributions, which mostly have an impact due to modern land-use change. These interactions, however, have not yet been fully explored. In order to better understand archaeological point patterns as functions of explanatory c…
Modelling a scale-based strontium isotope baseline for Hungary
Strontium isotope analysis has recently proven to be a useful tool to elucidate population movements and subsistence strategies in ecological and archaeological sciences. The interpretation depends on the size, type, availability, and preservation of the sample and the reliability of the produced strontium isotope baseline. However, collecting quantitatively and qualitatively suitable baseline samples is considered a challenging task in archaeolo…
Fables of the Past
Prehistoric landscape reconstructions are still considered an unsolved methodological issue in archaeological research, and this includes the perception and transformation of an individual landscape in relation to situational and local ecosystem performances. Which parts of the landscape offered the potential for land-use and which areas were rather unsuitable due to a variety of environmental preconditions? The modern perception of the archaeolo…
Modeling multivariate landscape affordances and functional ecosystem connectivity in landscape archeology
Quantitative, digital statistics, and spatial analysis have proven to be useful tools in landscape archeological research. Herein, GIS-based data storage, manipulation, and visualization of environmental attributes and archeological records are among the most intensely applied methods to evaluate human-landscape interaction, movement patterns, and spatial behavior of past societies. Recent land use management and land cover change, however, have …
From landscape affordances to landscape connectivity
To understand the connectivity in human-landscape ecosystems, a multidirectional concept of landscape transformation, sociocultural development, and human response cycles needs to be considered. In this context, societal decision-making is controlled by the ecosystem's functionality; the human perception, experience, memory, and tradition; and the individual configuration of landscape components: a conceptual framework that is herein referred to …
Paradigm and pragmatism
The Roman infrastructural network in the Upper Rhine Valley aligns with the locations of military fortifications and also connects agricultural areas and settlements to trade routes and regional markets. Conventionally, the connection of rural areas to these broader networks is imagined as a straight line, suggesting direct connectivity, maximum accessibility, and engineering pragmatism. However, it is important to appreciate that local environme…
