Many archaeological patterns are fractal. Fractal analysis, therefore, has much to contribute to archaeology. This article offers an introduction to fractal analysis for archaeologists. We explain what fractals are, describe the essential methods of fractal analysis, and present archaeological examples. Some examples have been published previously, while others are presented here for the first time. We also explain the connection between fractal geometry and nonlinear dynamical systems…

ARQUEOLOGÍA Y LA GEOMETRÍA FRACTAL. UNA CONJUNCIÓN PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN DEL PASADO
Archaeology and fractal geometry: A conjunction to investigate our past In this paper I will outline three forms of relating fractal geometry and archaeological research: 1) Describing spatial…
Fractal Worlds: An Archaeology of Nested Spatial Scales
Archaeologists approach their evidence at numerous scales, from the intercontinental distributions of people and their things to the microscopic structure in a thin section. This is possible and…
Characterization of Cultural Traits by Means of Fractal Analysis
Archaeology, as a science, dares to explain how extinct societies functioned. As in all sciences, knowledge is built through the classification of data. In this case, data appear as fragments of…
A Fractal Augmentation of the Archaeological Record: The Time Maps Project
TLDR
This chapter proposes a new method for evoking the complexity of the Past from the archaeological record based on a transdisciplinary approach linking archaeological science, art and IT technology, and uses a combination of Augmented Reality techniques and visual media, with a high artistic quality, to create a mixed-reality user experience.
Fractality and Self-Similarity in the Structure of Road Networks
Fractal geometry has been an important tool in multiple disciplines, but it is usually limited to the geometrical fractal: a shape made of parts similar to the whole in certain ways. Recently there…

This paper is a preliminary discourse on how settlements fit into their landscapes. One is able to show the degree of similarity between the organizing principles of landscapes and the organizing…
STAR-SHAPED SET INVERSION FRACTALS
In the paper, we generalized the idea of circle inversion to star-shaped sets and used the generalized inversion to replace the circle inversion transformation in the algorithm for the generation of…

The Quantitative Analysis of Mobility: Ecological Techniques and Archaeological Extensions
TLDR
A novel simulation methodology is developed that relates step-length distributions to the distributions of intersite distances in landscape-level archaeological samples and is discussed with regard to its archaeological implications and certain social and cognitive correlates of specific mobility strategies.
Augmenting the Archaeological Record with Art: The Time Maps Project

TLDR
The lacunarity of a set is defined from the fluctuations of the mass distribution function, which is found using an algorithm the authors call the gliding-box method, and this definition is applied to characterize the geometry of random and deterministic fractal sets.
