Se presenta una revisión epistemológica de la simulación social en arqueología, delimitándola como práctica, método y como rama de la arqueología. Como práctica, se posiciona la simulación social entre otros tipos de aplicaciones intensivas de tecnologías digitales en humanidades y ciencias sociales. Como método, la definimos como una forma de modelización matemática que contiene mecanismos, sobre todo sociales, y pide soluciones numéricas. Presentamos brevemente las características de la simulación social, incluyendo el papel central de la modelización basada en agentes. Finalmente, contextualizamos el lugar de la simulación social en arqueología, ofreciendo una breve revisión de ejemplos de aplicación. This article presents an epistemological review of social simulation in archaeology, delimiting it as a practice, method and branch thereof. As a practice, social simulation is positioned amongst other intensive applications of digital technologies to the humanities and social sciences. As a method, we define it as a form of mathematical modelling that contains mechanisms, especially social ones, and which thus demands numerical solutions. We briefly present the characteristics of social simulation, including the central role of agent-based modelling. Finally, we contextualize the place of social simulation within archaeology, offering a brief review of applied examples.

This chapter proposes a new framework that analyzes the log data from computational simulations to integrate agent-based simulation (ABS) with conventional fieldwork-based research in archeology. Specifically, machine learning methods are employed to extract the key branch points of each result from a large and diverse set of simulation results and the log data representing the process leading to them. In this framework, the ABS results are used to develop working hypotheses for facilitating fieldwork-based research, whereas those of fieldwork are used as inputs for the simulations, thereby resulting in bidirectional links rather than unidirectional ones. In a pilot application of this framework, the log data from a simulation of the cultural transformation from the Jomon period to the Yayoi period (16,000 to 2350 cal BP) in Western Japan are analyzed.
