In a discipline which essentially studies how modern man came to
be, it is remarkable that there are hardly any conceptual tools to
describe change. This is due to the history of the western
intellectual and scientific tradition, which for a long time
favoured mechanics over dynamics, and the study of stability over
that of change. Change was primarily deemed due to external events
(in archaeology mainly climatic or 'environmental'). Revolutionary
innovations in the natural and life sciences, often (erroneously)
referred to as 'chaos theory', suggest that there are ways to
overcome this problem. A wide range of processes can be described
in terms of dynamic systems, and modern computing methods enable us
to investigate many of their properties. This volume presents a
cogent argument for the use of such approaches, and a discussion of
a number of its aspects by a range of scientists from the
humanities, social and natural sciences, and archaeology.
