These are projects from previous years, especially from my undergraduate research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I often have data, code, and some documentation for these projects, and welcome inquiries about them, although I am not currently working on any.
Regional Economics in Archaeology
Basin of Mexico Urbanism (Summer 2012- 2015):
I am working with the settlement survey data from the Valley of Mexico (right) at the Santa Fe Institute. My work focuses on understanding ancient settlements within the context of urban scaling theory and regional economics. My mentors and collaborators are Scott Ortman and Luis Bettencourt.
Road Networks of Roman Britain (Fall 2012-Spring 2013)
I analyzed the Roman road network of Britain following network theoretic measures. I modeled the types of regional economic processes that can be transmitted in such a system. The discretization of geographic space appears to have had an important influence in the growth and development of towns. More...
Cities and Communities
Urban Networks of the Aegean (Spring 2013-Spring 2015):
In trying to understand the development of ancient urbanism and the process of urbanization, many have recognized the importance of economic organization both in physical space and in social communities. By looking at spatial distributions of artifacts associated with different types of activities, we hope to glean some insight in the diachronic patterns as to the process of urbanization in the archaic Aegean. This work was overseen primarily by Prof. Donald Haggis of UNC Classics, and was also a part of projects with the Mucha Networks group.
Sculptural Information at Lepcis Magna (Leptis) (Fall 2013 - Fall 2015)
Lepcis Magna provides the opportunity to study the relationship between built environment and information processing technologies such as texts and sculptures. Presently I'm focusing on information accessibility in the Severan sculptural program through Bayesian inference and generative grammars. More...
