  • Enhancing foresight models with network science

    Open AccessMartin Ho, Henry C W Price et al.ARTICLETechnological Forecasting and…2025

    A granular understanding of innovation dynamics is crucial for forecasting how and when different actors within the innovation system can make valuable contributions. Existing theoretical foundations of the foresight practice are largely qualitative and often oversimplify the innovation process. While foresight practitioners acknowledge the existence of knowledge feedback loops, these feedback loops are rarely quantified systematically in empiric…

  • The behavioural house indicator

    Open AccessEduardo Viegas, Tim S EvansARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2025

    Researchers have been long preoccupied with the measuring and monitoring of economic and social deprivation at small scales, neighbourhood, level in order to provide official government agencies and policy makers with more precise data insights. Whist valuable methodologies have been developed, the exercise of data collection associated with these methods tends to be expensive, time consuming, published infrequently with significant time delays, …

  • Entropology

    Open AccessPaula Gheorghiade, Vaiva Vasiliauskaitė et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Method…2023Cited by: 1References: 15

    The main objective of this paper is to develop quantitative measures for describing the diversity, homogeneity, and similarity of archaeological data. It presents new approaches to characterize the relationship between archaeological assemblages by utilizing entropy and its related attributes, primarily diversity, and by drawing inspiration from ecology. Our starting premise is that diachronic changes in our data provide a distorted reflection of…

  • How do we avoid imposing the present on the past when modelling spatial interactions

    Open AccessR J Rivers, Tim Evans et al.ARTICLEDocumenta Praehistorica2020References: 9

    Theoretical archaeological modelling for describing spatial interactions often adopts contemporary socioeconomic ideas whose 20th-century language gets translated into historical behaviour with the simplest of lexicons. This can lead to the impression that the past is like the present. Our intention in this paper is that, when this happens, we strip out as much of the contemporary context as we can, to bring modelling back to basic epistemic prop…

  • Applying an equity lens to interventions

  • New approaches to Archaic Greek settlement structure

    Open AccessRaymond J Rivers, Tim Evans et al.ARTICLELes Nouvelles de l archéologie2014

    Les développements récents dans la théorie des réseaux ont amené la création de nouveaux modèles pour décrire les interactions spatiales et sociales et réexaminer les modèles existants. Bien qu’ils aient été conçus pour l’étude de la société contemporaine, les archéologues les utilisent de plus en plus pour interpréter les données archéologiques. Il s’ensuit la possibilité, avec un si grand assortiment de modèles, d’en trouver un pour justifier c…

  • The Theran eruption and Minoan palatial collapse

    Open AccessCarl Knappett, Ray Rivers et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2011Cited by: 14References: 10

    What was the effect on Late Minoan civilisation of the catastrophic destruction of Akrotiri on Thera (Santorini) by volcanic eruption? Not much, according to the evidence for continuing prosperity on Crete. But the authors mobilise their ingenious mathematical model (published in Antiquity 82: 1009-1024), this time to show that the effects of removing a major port of call could have impacted after an interval, as increased costs of transport grad…

  • Modelling maritime interaction in the Aegean Bronze Age

    Open AccessCarl Knappett, Tim Evans et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2008Cited by: 20References: 17

    The authors raise spatial analysis to a new level of sophistication - and insight - in proposing a mathematical model of 'imperfect optimisation' to describe maritime networks. This model encodes, metaphorically, the notion of gravitational attraction between objects in space. The space studied here is the southern Aegean in the Middle Bronze Age, and the objects are the 34 main sites we know about. The 'gravitation' in this case is a balance of …
