This book covers the methodological, epistemological and practical issues of integrating qualitative and socio-anthropological factors into archaeological modeling. This text fills the gap between conceptual modeling (which usually relies on narratives describing the life of a past community) and formalized/computer-based modeling which are usually environmentally-determined. Methods combining both environmental and social issues through niche and agent-based modeling are presented. These methods help to translate data from paleo-environmental and archaeological society life cycles (such as climate and landscape changes) into the local spatial scale.&nbsp;<div><div><br></div><div>The epistemological discussions will appeal to readers as well as the resilience socio-anthropological factors provide facing climatic fluctuations. <i>Integrating Qualitative and Social Science Factors in Archaeological Modelling</i>&nbsp;will appeal to students and researchers in the field.</div></div>
