This is a paper (in German language) I wrote for the seminar Der Mensch in der Landschaft. Archäologisch-geographische Modelle by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Oliver Nakoinz @OliverNakoinz and Dr. rer. nat. Daniel Knitter @dakni in the summer semester 2017.

I tried to understand, reproduce and improve one specific model from Lewis Binfords book Constructing Frames of Reference: An Analytical Method for Archaeological Theory Building using Ethnographic and Environmental Data Sets from 2001.

Reproduce me!

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Install the R package
  3. Knit report/binford_main.Rmd
  4. Solve some nasty Tex dependency problems (see travis.yml)
  5. Back to step 3
  6. Enjoy!
