Combining path models with node-based network analysis is feasible and gradually becoming more common, but full integration of both approaches is still far off.
“Combining path models with node-based network analysis is also feasible and gradually becoming more common (Coward 2013;Bevan and Wilson 2013;Groenhuijzen andVerhagen 2015, 2017;Paliou and Bevan 2016), but we are still a long way from a full integration of both approaches.”

Point Pattern Analysis (PPA) has found relatively wide application in archaeology.

PPA can be used to predict site location based on the intensity of known points and their relation to specific variables, provided that the regions being compared share similar characteristics.

Even in studies where PPA is used, first- and second-order properties are rarely analyzed together in a formal way, potentially reducing the robustness of the results.
“Furthermore, even in studies where PPA is used, firstand second-order properties are rarely analyzed together in a formal way (as described in Bevan et al., 2013, 41), potentially reducing the robustness of the results.”

Advanced approaches such as agent-based models, systems of nonlinear equations, stochastic simulations, and iterative optimisation techniques come with heavy demands on computational resources and parameter supply, limiting them to singular case studies.
“Attempts to more fully capture the complex interaction and evolution dynamics of networks have been undertaken with considerable success in archaeology; by advanced means such as agent-based models (ABM), systems of nonlinear equations and stochastic simulations (e.g.Graham, 2006;Wilkinson et al., 2007;Bevan and Wilson, 2013;Lawall and Graham, 2018;see Evans, 2018 for an overview), and iterative”
From Exploratory network reconstruction with sparse archaeological data and XTENT (2022) · cites this paper as Bevan and Wilson, 2013
Physical network reconstructions benefit greatly, both in realism and analytical potential, if the cost of establishing connections is considered.
“As has been demonstrated before (e.g.Bevan and Wilson, 2013;Groenhuijzen and Verhagen, 2017), physical network reconstructions benefit greatly, both in realism and analytical potential, if the cost of establishing connections is considered.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
