#LimesCongress2022 the Simulating the Limes session is going strong!

We've got Nathaniel Durant talking about modelling forts in Scythia Minor

Romans liked to put their forts on higher land and close to major water sources but not too close to small streams (flood risk?)

And now @jwhpverhagen presenting a model of the interactions between urban centers and their hinterland in the Roman Limes Region.

#LimesCongress2022

We're fueled with ☕ and ready for the final part of the day.

Toon Bongers picked up the methodology by @paudsoto and applied it to the low countries to figure out river transport 🏞️🛶on the Meuse.

Continuing with the theme of 🌊 transport but this time on the Indian Ocean. Nicholas Bartos modelling maritime connectivity using GIS.

@emma_slayton @Crystalsafadi may be of interest!

@emma_slayton @Crystalsafadi Ioana Oltean modelling Lower Danube and asking whether the river was a barrier or a route.

A bit up north Marek Vlach on nthe middle Danube. Modelling army logistics.
At a scale of one day per time step 😨 that's mega ambitious

The hlevel of detail 😱 super cool. Marek simulated and reconstructed every possible aspect of the middle Danube area during the Marcomannic wars. V cool!

Now Kira Lappe presenting their work on estimating the thickness of anthropogenic material in Vienna.

The correlation with the old city walls (no longer standing) and the roman Fort is just breathtaking.

We finish the day with @Archaeologue1 about reconstruction of roman roads.

@paudsoto wins the "most mentioned researcher" award today
