Topic - Modeling Networks of the Past with Modern Approaches
Guest speaker - Ketika Garg (Postdoctoral researcher at Caltech)
Abstract:
Archaeological data is incredibly diverse and spans vast spatial and temporal scales. Making sense of this complexity calls for methods that reveal broader patterns. Network science offers a powerful way to do this. In this talk, I’ll introduce network science and its role in archaeology. By modeling relationships—trade, cultural diffusion, or social ties—networks help us visualize hidden connections and track how ideas, goods, and technologies spread and develop over time, or how societies are organized.
I’ll share examples of studies applying this approach to deepen our understanding of the past, complementing traditional approaches. Finally, I’ll discuss both the strengths and limitations of network science and what it can reveal about our past.
