MoMArq - Modelling of Anthropic Activity Markers: From ethnography to Archaeology. MINECO-HAR2014-55518-P

MoMArq is an innovative, transdisciplinary research project that applies concepts derived from ecology and biology to ethnography and archaeology through the use of techniques characteristic of the IT. The main aim of the project is to develop a methodology that allows studying some aspects of long-term human behavior. The project focuses on the creation of formal models of domestic activity and the spatial distribution of their traces in the archaeological record. Particularly, it centres on exploring the spatial structures of domestic activities related to storage, processing and consumption of plant food in semi-arid areas. The models based on ethnographic information are tested through computational modelling and simulation. In this respect, this project represents the first phase of a long-term research, aimed at the characterisation and understanding of past and present socio-ecological systems.
