AB  - Gravity models are a class of quantitative models that can be used for describing the spatial characteristics of social interactions, providing a realization of Tobler’s “law” of geography that “near things are more related than distant things.” In archaeology, they are particularly suited for describing historic and prehistoric “exchange” and “settlement formation.” Although, quantitatively, they were originally little more than mimicry of Newtonian gravitation, they arise naturally in some forms of economic modeling and as the “most likely” outcomes (MaxEnt) from limited knowledge. We discuss several of their key applications to archaeological data.

Note to staff:  Adding new publications to a research group

  1. Log in to Symplectic.
  2. Click on Menu > Create Links
  3. Choose what you want to create links between – in this case ‘Publications’ and ‘Organisational structures’.
  4. Choose the organisational structure (research group) into which you want to link the publications and check the box next to it.
  5. Now check the box of any publication you want to add to that group. You can use the filters to find what you want and select multiple publications if necessary. 
  6. Scroll to the bottom and click the blue ‘Create new link’ button to link them.
  7. The publications will be added to the group, and will be displayed on the group publications feed within 24 hours (it is not immediate).

Any problems, talk to Tim Evans or the Faculty Web Team.
