Résumé
This paper presents a work in progress within the project « Modeling the roleof socio-environmental interactions on Ancient Settlement Dynamics - ModelAnSet» developed by archaeologists, historians, palaeoenvironmentalistsand computer scientists at University Côte d’Azur (Nice). Agent-based modellingis used to explore the respective role of environmental and social factorsin the evolution of the settlement pattern and dynamics during the Romanperiod in South-Eastern France. The model aims at simulating the impact ofthe climatic and macro-economic conditions on the behaviour of Gallo-Romanlandowners. According to the profit they derive from their farms and/orvillas, which depends both on natural and socio-economic factors, the landownerscan decide to maintain without change, improve, enlarge or abandontheir agricultural holdings or to create a new one. Through the repeated landowners’decision-making, the ABM thus simulates a changing macro-levelsettlement pattern, in terms of number, type and location of the settlements.The paper focuses on the conceptual model in order to present the model entitiesand the dynamics underlying their interactions, and explain our choicesand hypotheses.
