Résumé
Complexity theory provides useful concepts for archaeologicalissues related to the understanding of past societies and their environment.More specifically, Agent-Based Modelling is a relevant tool to explorescenarios and to test hypotheses about the impacts of complex socioenvironmentalinteractions on the transformations of ancient settlement systemsevident in archaeological records. After a short historiography of complexsystems modelling in Archaeology, this paper focus on the mains issuesof archaeological simulation models. As a case study, we briefly presentthe model under development within the ModelAnSet project supported byUCAJEDI Complex Systems Academy of Excellence. Agent-Based Modellingis used to explore the respective impacts of environmental and social factorson the settlement pattern and dynamics during the Roman period inSouth-Eastern France.
