Néhémie Strupler SCATTER : The Scaling Territories Project How Bronze Age inhabitants redefined their territories in within expanding centralised power?

Territory of the Hittite Empire, 13th BC Central Anatolia (Neue Pauly 2007) Workflow to integrate multiple data ( Adapted from the INRIA SCATTER investigates the multivocal notion of territory in Protohistory MOOC ’Introduction to a Web of Linked Data’) through the study of settlement patterns in ecological settings. It focuses on the Central Anatolian region during the Middle and Late Bronze Age, i.e. the second B.C. The goal is to acquire better understan- ding of changes in landscape uses within a growing centralised state’s power. One main problem in the interpretation of archaeological records is the gap between the evidence and the processes that archaeologists try to un-
