Dr Angourakis is a computational archaeologist with a strong background in Humanities and Social Sciences specialising in simulating socio-environmental systems in the past. His main concern is to tackle meaningful theoretical questions about human behaviour and social institutions and their role in the biosphere, as documented by history and archaeology. His research focuses specifically on how social behaviour reflects long-term historical processes, especially those concerning food systems in past small-scale societies. Among the aspects investigated are competition for land use between sedentary farmers and mobile herders (Angourakis et al. 2014; Angourakis 2014), cooperation for food storage (Angourakis et al. 2015), origins of agriculture and domestication of plants (Angourakis et al. 2021, submitted), the sustainability of subsistence strategies and resilience to climate change (Angourakis et al. 2020). He has almost ten years of experience with simulation modelling, particularly agent-based modelling, and computational data analysis in archaeology. When using simulation, he funnelled the contributions of interdisciplinary teams into the creation of formal models and developed part, or the entirety of the computer code required. With a combination of autonomous and collaborative work, he developed, implemented, or worked with many simulation models, discussing with domain-expert researchers and broader audiences their implications in light of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic questions and data.
