This paper describes a geospatial model that was developed to be the basis for applying models from human behavioural ecology (HBE). Specifically, the logic of the ideal free distribution (IFD) is narrowed and applied to the post‐colonisation spread of intensive agriculture in order to predict the order and locations of its expansion. The island of Rapa, Austral Islands, is used to highlight the utility of this method. Rapa is an ideal location due to the prominent use of intensive irrigated taro agriculture and its role in explanations of the social development of territoriality on the island. The use of similar geospatial models has wider implications for island archaeology in furthering the understanding of diachronic settlement patterns.

地理空间模型用于预测Rapa的理想自由沉降

本文介绍了地理空间模型，该模型已开发为应用人类行为生态学（HBE）模型的基础。具体而言，理想自由分配（IFD）的逻辑被缩小并应用于集约化农业的殖民化后传播，以预测其扩展的顺序和位置。澳大利亚群岛拉帕岛（Rapa）被用来强调这种方法的实用性。拉帕（Rapa）是理想的地点，这是因为集约化灌溉芋头农业的广泛使用及其在解释岛上领土社会发展方面的作用。使用类似的地理空间模型对岛屿考古学具有更广泛的意义，可进一步了解历时性的沉积模式。
