“…Such databases, in Scotland and beyond (e.g., papers in Larsen 1992;Schut 2009), serve many purposes, informing research, management, strategic planning, community outreach and so on. As products of over a century of recording informed by changing policy and interests, unsurprisingly they show considerable variability in content and coverage (i.e., Banaszek, Cowley & Middleton 2018;Cooper & Green 2015;Cowley 2016b;Verhagen et al 2016).…”

The characteristics and form of heritage data are fundamental to its utility in a range of applications, particularly so for heritage agencies who have a remit in management, policy, and the creation and curation of national databases of monuments, sites, and landscapes. Written from the perspective of an archaeological survey function in a national heritage agency, this paper draws on preliminary outcomes from a research and development project that aims to proof protocols for creating systematic data across large areas drawing heavily on remotely sensed data. This recognises that a systemic consideration of the implications of changing technology and data is sometimes desirable, rather than gradual assimilation of developments into existing practice. In particular, the issues being addressed relate to the challenges and opportunities of proliferating remote sensed data and digital workflows. These include the strategic assessment of threat, consideration of fitness for purpose of different datasets relative to landscape characteristics, the documentation of processes and sources of information, the suitability of data structures, and the mechanisms for automating site detection and data creation.

“…The archaeological data are based primarily on the records of the Netherlands' national archaeological database, ARCHIS. When individual find spots were located within 250 m of each other, they were aggregated into a single site represented by a point at its centroid (Verhagen et al 2016a). Settlements and potential market centres were identified on the basis of finds and features.…”

“…This resulted in a dataset that allows for the selection of precisely dated sites, ideal for statistical analysis aiming to understand diachronic change. As in Verhagen et al (2016a), sites where the probability of 10 or more finds coming from a specific period is greater than 50% were selected for this analysis. The date ranges of the chronological periods, the total number of sites, and the number of rural settlements in each period, divided by zone, are presented in Table 9.1.…”

“…Two different sizes of territories were used in this analysis consisting of simple circles with radii of 0.5 and 1.5 km. The former distance is based on the results of earlier cluster analysis which identified particularly tight groupings at this distance (Verhagen et al 2016a). These territories would contain an area of just under 80 ha, which is a reasonable estimate of the maximum size of a smallholding (Nuninger et al 2016).…”

The Role of Forts in the Local Market System in the Lower Rhine: Towards a Method of Multiple Hypothesis Testing Through Comparative Modelling

This paper analyses rural settlement patterns in the Lower Rhine frontier zone to elucidate the role of forts in the rural economy. Von Thünen's model of rural marketing suggests that market centres attract intensive cultivation, making them identifiable through spatial analysis of rural settlements. Environmental factors that influenced production capacity, however, can also be expected to exert a strong influence on settlement location, so a multivariate method of spatial analysis is necessary. Using a process of comparative modelling with logistic regression analysis, I test the hypotheses that rural settlements responded to the location of market centres, both civilian and military. I use univariate analysis of settlement territories to identify influential local environmental factors and combine these into a logistic regression model. Then I add a market potential (MP) variable that quantifies the accessibility of marketing opportunities from any location within a market system to see if this factor also shaped settlement patterns. Finally, I vary the centres included in the MP variable to determine whether rural settlements responded to the locations of forts in addition to civilian centres. I find that forts did not generally attract settlements and conclude that smallholders sold their produce primarily in civilian market places.

“…Among other things, after the transformation of cross-regional data to formats more suitable for statistical analyses, GIS (cf. Demján, Dreslerová 2016;Dresler, Macháček 2013;Hladík 2014, 72-110;Kamermans et al 2009;Lieskovský et al 2013;Verhagen, Whitley 2012;Verhagen et al 2013;Verhagen et al 2016) and agent-based modelling (Danielisová, Štekerová 2015;Wurzer et al 2015), it will be possible to draw a more realistic picture of the cultural-historical and economic development of the area along the lower stretches of the Morava/March River during the period from the sixth to the eleventh century AD.…”
