Ancestral Pueblo farmers encountered the deep, well watered, and productive soils of the central Mesa Verde region of Southwest Colorado around A.D. 600, and within two centuries built some of the largest villages known up to that time in the U.S. Southwest. But one hundred years later, those villages were empty, and most people had gone. This cycle repeated itself from the mid-A.D. 1000's until 1280, when Puebloan farmers permanently abandoned the entire northern Southwest. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book examines how climate change, population size, interpersonal conflict, resource depression, and changing social organization contribute to explaining these dramatic shifts. Comparing the simulations from agent-based models with the precisely dated archaeological record from this area, this text will interest archaeologists working in the Southwest and in Neolithic societies around the world as well as anyone applying modeling techniques to understanding how human societies shape, and are shaped by the environments we inhabit.

"How should archaeologists and other social scientists tackle the big and little questions about change in socionatural systems? Although fieldwork is certainly the place to start, it alone is not enough to answer troublesome "how" or "why" questions. To make sense of what they find in the field, archaeologists build models - possible explanations for the data. This book is about new developments in applying dynamic models for understanding relatively small-scale human systems and the environments they inhabit and alter."--Jacket.

Née au xixe siècle, l’archéologie a considérablement changé dans les dernières décennies : nouvelles problématiques, nouvelles techniques, arrivée de l’informatique, développement considérable de l’archéologie préventive ont renouvelé en profondeur la manière de faire de l’archéologie. Affaire d’amateurs à ses débuts, elle s’est peu à peu professionnalisée, et aujourd’hui la communauté des archéologues est très spécialisée : archéologues dédiés à une période et une aire culturelle données, chercheurs travaillant sur les environnements et les climats du passé, « dateurs », épigraphistes, archéomètres, anthropologues biologistes, architectes, technologues... L’archéologie occupe une place originale au sein des sciences humaines : elle est au carrefour des disciplines historiques, géographiques et anthropologiques, d’un côté, et des sciences biologiques, physiques, informatiques et chimiques, de l’autre. Les archéologues sont devenus des acteurs économiques importants qui interviennent dans la définition des politiques d’aménagement du territoire et dans la valorisation et la conservation des patrimoines de l’humanité. C’est ce double statut, de scientifique et d’acteur économique, qui rend le nouveau métier d’archéologue à la fois passionnant et plein de contradictions. En dressant un état des lieux de l’archéologie française, cet ouvrage permet de penser l’avenir de la discipline.
