ALT Book cover for my newly published book "Social Complexity and Complex Systems in Archaeology"
Very happy to see our latest paper published in JAS: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We use an innovative combination of least cost path analysis and mutual information to explore the relative contributions of geographical proximity and potential social, economic, and political factors underlying the distributions of late Hellenistic and early Roman pottery.

As mentioned recently, the Archaeoriddle is nearing completion! Before publishing all our results we wanted to understand what motivated our followers, learn about their research & background, so we created a brief survey to gather your insights 🤔📝 : qualtrics.ceu.edu/jfe/form/S…
