With an integrated dataset of settlements and hollow ways, we identify patterns of growth, conservation, release and reorganisation, demonstrating the value of coupling archaeological data with resilience theory and network analysis to understand the adaptive capacities of archaeological societies.

We then translate established archaeological theories about the region into statistical ERGM terms to evaluate if those hypotheses are reflected in the network patterns.

We first convert prehistoric hollow ways in the Khabur Valley, #Mesopotamia (edges) and their associated archaeological sites (nodes) into period-specific #networks.
