Modeling and reconstruction of interaction and distribution systems from the Early Iron Age in Southwest- and West Germany and Alsace

交互作用是许多研究领域的关键术语。互动连接社区，推动历史进程，是日常生活的重要组成部分。互动可以从社会、文化、地理、经济、政治和其他角度来看。在传统考古学中，相互作用的群体被解释为文化。考古学文化是由物质文化的共同要素所定义的。文化界定了互动区域，并允许识别进口。几年来，很明显，同质和清晰界定的文化的形象过于简单化了。必须考虑到没有空间重点、边界模糊和复杂互动系统的文化。该项目研究了铁器时代的相互作用，这取决于地理，经济和社会距离。调查不是集中在空间组，然而，在小距离的互动。在大多数情况下，我们不能检测到在小距离的传统方法的相互作用。本研究应用四个系统的概念来开发交互模型和通信网络，以及交通网络：1。使用“Typenspektren”分析文化距离。2.对选定的发现进行科学分析，以检测来自外国地区的材料。3.对通过类型学检测到的进口发现进行分析。4.发现物和地点的分布模式分析。项目第一阶段集中于物质文化的统计分析，第二阶段则致力于科学分析和成果综合。

Interaction is a key-term in many fields of research. Interaction connects communities, drives historical processes and is an important part in every day live. Interaction can be seen from a social, cultural, geographical, economic, political and other points of view. Interacting groups were interpreted as cultures in traditional archaeology. Archaeological culture is defined by common elements of material culture. Cultures are delimiting interaction areas and allow to recognise imports. Since some years it becomes obvious that the image of homogeneous and crisp delimited cultures is oversimplified. Cultures without spatial focus, fuzzy borders and complex interaction systems have to be taken into consideration. This project investigates interaction in the Iron Age as dependent on geographical, economic and social distances. The investigation is not focussed on spatial groups, nevertheless, on interaction at small distances. In most cases we cannot detect interaction at small distances with traditional methods. This study applies four methodical concepts to develop interaction models and communication networks, as well as transportation networks: 1. Analysis of cultural distances using 'Typenspektren'. 2. Scientific analysis of selected finds to detect material from foreign regions. 3. Analysis of import finds detected by typology. 4. Analysis of distribution patterns of finds and sites. The first project phase is concentrated on statistical analysis of material culture while the second phase is dedicated to scientific analysis and synthesis of results.
