ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the importance of movement to studies of agency. Movement plays an important, though not always acknowledged, role within the framework of agency. One of the best ways for theorizing and modeling countless individual trajectories of movement has been the work undertaken within the area of time-geography. Connections have long existed between agency theory and the methods and theory of time-geography. Shifting from archaeological material to investigating specified paths of time-geography must focus on modeling ancient movement. In archaeology the individuals who undertook the activities are long dead, thereby defying observation as accomplished in modern time-geography methodologies. The ancient city at Kerkenes Dag in Turkey, where both pedestrian geographic information systems (PGIS-T) and agent-based methods for the simulation of movement (SHULGI) are being developed and tested, was put forth as an example of how this has been and could in the future be operationalized archaeologically.
