A hunt for resources? Spatial models in the ResourceCultures at the northern periphery of Mesopotamia (B07)

The project investigates the essential resources of the northern border or neighbouring regions of Mesopotamia in a diachronic approach. For the third funding period of the SFB, the relations between the resources will be modelled and visually represented by a series of spatial analyses. For this purpose, different methodological tools will be used one after the other and building on each other: Water modelling, soil modelling, path modelling, settlement modelling, landscape modelling and finally the modelling of ResourceCultures.
