Probabilistic Modelling using Monte Carlo Simulation for Incorporating Uncertainty in Least Cost Path Results: a Postdictive Roman Road Case Study

This repository contains all the data and scripts required to fully reproduce all analyses presented in the paper "Probabilistic Modelling using Monte Carlo Simulation for Incorporating Uncertainty in Least Cost Path Results: a Roman Road Case Study" authored by Lewis, J.

Getting Started

1. Open project using Incorporating-Uncertainty-in-Least-Cost-Path-Modelling.Rproj to ensure relative paths work.
2. Run the main.R R script in the R folder to reproduce the analysis.
