Understanding Anasazi using Agent-Based Modelling

'The 1050 Project' has as an output a synthetic agent-based model. It incorporates an empirical landscape with artificial Anasazi agents. Note that the landscape is a reconstruction of seven production zones based on Archaeological and other information in Long House Valley, northeaster Arizona.




More information is included in the chapter 4-6 of the Generative Social Science book by Epstein and others. A Java-based application of the Anasazi can be accessed from http://ascape.sourceforge.net/
