dc.description.abstractRecently developed modules in GRASS GIS combine a wide variety of spatial data such as climatic, geological, and cultural in order to estimate how long-term interactions among these factors contribute to the evolution of natural environment and anthropogenic landscapes. Additionally, these modules allow users to visualize anthropogenic impacts of extensive agropastoralism on landscapes by subjecting the pre-defined catchment areas to repeated land use activities. The results emphasize the economic and ecological value of extensive agropastoralism in the marginal landscapes, which make anthropogenic activities more sustainable in the long-term. The results of this research are not only significant for its methodological contributions in anthropological archaeology but also have broader significance for researchers interested in interdisciplinary approaches in assessing the long-term dynamics of human-environment relations.

dc.description.sponsorshipAmerican Center of Oriental research in Amman I am grateful for the financial support of the Kress Foundation as well as the hospitality and support of the American Center of Oriental research in Amman. I am also indebted to the General Directorate of Antiquities of Jordan for their cooperation. The Graduate College at Arizona State University generously supported me during the final stages of my dissertation research. I am grateful for the supervision, continuous support, guidance, and collegiality of my advisor, Prof. C. Michael Barton, during both my doctoral education and postdoctoral research at Arizona State University. Without his encouragement, I would not be able to acquire the skills I developed. Last but not least, I am indebted to my friend Isaac Ullah, not only for sharing his work but also for eagerly spending his valuable time and energy in answering my questions about GRASS as well as sharing his research that amounted to the preparation of these scripts.
