Two-Rains/indus-village-model: The Indus Village model development files (May 2021)

This repository holds the current collection of files associated with the Indus Village model, including separate modules implementations, demonstrations, tests, and pseudo-code diagrams. All files are released under GNU General Public License v3.0.

The Indus Village model is an agent-based model aiming to represent one or more rural settlements of the Indus Civilisation. The population is structured in households that engage in crop-based agriculture for food production and other complementary activities, having available several possible cropping configurations for adapting to local environmental conditions and coping with climate-driven changes. The model contains multiple submodels that are being designed and implemented separately and are made available to facilitate re-use. The model is under development, but several submodels have been designed and implemented in NetLogo (v6.0.4).
