Agent-based modelling of Trypillian mega-site growth

This study shows that the characteristic ring-street layout of Trypillian mega-sites can be reproduced using simple rules for household placement, implemented as agent-based model TryHous. The model successfully generates both the overall settlement form and neighbourhood clustering, challenging the idea that such layouts required centralized planning. Simulations further demonstrate that, with realistic house-burning rates (about one generation), even modest populations can create hundreds of burnt house remains within relatively short periods. This offers a plausible explanation for the quantities of house remains found at Trypillian mega-sites
