Abstract
AbstractInnovations in geospatial technologies have exploded over the past several decades, significantly impacting archaeological research. At Kerkenes Dağ, a massive late Iron Age city in Central Turkey, a variety of these technologies have been employed over the past two decades. The techniques used include: aerial photography, satellite imaging, magnetometry survey, resistivity survey, and micro-topographic GPS survey. The availability of this data has allowed a map of the ancient city to be developed and new strategies and methods to be devised, including archaeological transportation modeling using both Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) and Transportation Geographic Information Systems (GIS-T), to understand how the city was used by its inhabitants. The potential impacts of these new strategies for both archaeological interpretation and site management are explored in this chapter.KeywordsKerkenes DağTurkeyGeophysicsMagnetometryResistivityGlobal Positioning System (GPS)Aerial photographySatellite imagesTransportation modelingTransportation Geographic Information Systems (GIS-T)Agent-Based Modeling (ABM)Repast SimphonySimulationTime-Geography
