Resumen de Arqueología y la geometría fractal: Una conjunción para la investigación del pasado
Archaeology and fractal geometry: A conjunction to investigate our pastIn this paper I will outline three forms of relating fractal geometry and archaeological research: 1) Describing spatial patterns in material culture; 2) describing material culture via fractal dimension and, 3) detecting past phenomena with fractal attributes. I will point some virtues and problematic issues concerning each of them. My main purpose is to show that using concepts or tools from fractal geometry does not imply the detection of complex adaptive phenomena.
