Generating Anthropological and Archeological Hypotheses in Okinawa through Agent-Based Simulation
compensate for this paucity of data and generate hypotheses [ 2 ]. The technical limitations of our simulation model is that we only run the limited number of simulations and that we fail to explore the very large parameter space , because of our computational abilities . Mathematical analyses of our simulation model , such as nonlinear dynamics , may provide us with the further insights on the history simulation studies . These are our future problems .
