Modelling Ancient Pathways of Cretan Landscapes: Building Networks and Social Dynamics Modelling Ancient Pathways of Cretan Landscapes: Building Networks and Social Dynamics Laguna-Palma, David Laguna-Palma, David Moreno Navarro, Fernando Moreno Navarro, Fernando Antoniadis, Vyron Antoniadis, Vyron Landscape Archaeology Site mapping Focal Mobility Network (FMN) Mapping human–environment interactions involves understanding complex systems based on continuous material and non-material flows. These interactions are linked to the ecological context and involve both physical and social dynamics. This study explores such interactions within ancient Crete from a long-term and multi-scalar perspective, with a specific focus on the entanglements that contributed to the formation of patterned landscapes. Methodologically, this research employs digital tools such as site mapping, GIS-based analysis and network science techniques to shed light on emerging spatial patterns and historical mobility arising from the interconnectedness of specific factors within Cretan landscapes. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the spatial network configuration of complex social landscapes in this region, which holds strategic historical connections within the broader Mediterranean context. 2025-10-29T11:14:05Z 2025-10-29T11:14:05Z 2025-09-11 2025-09-11 journal article journal article Laguna-Palma, D.; Moreno-Navarro, F.; Antoniadis, V.
