PaleoCOOP

PaleoCOOP is an evolutionary theoretical Agent-Based Model to explore the effect of cooperation on dispersal under different climate constraints in two study sub-regions, the Altai and Tian Shan Mountains.

This repository contains data and scripts used in the following preprint:

Coto-Sarmiento, M.; Namen, A.; Varis, A. and Iovita, R. (submitted Nov 2023): The impact of cooperation under climate constraints: an Agent-Based Model for exploring Paleolithic behavioral adaptations in the Inner Asian Mountain Corridor.

The agent-based model and the ODD protocol are available on OSF: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/JM3ZY

The repository is organized into 3 folders: PaleoCOOP_model, data_csv, protocol, scripts

Please note that the article is a preprint and has not yet been peer-reviewed. Therefore, both the article and the model itself can change
