Recent Advances In Archaeological Predictive Modeling For Archeological Research And Cultural Heritage Management

Abstract

The identification of areas that are insignificant for archaeological research can be used for guidance and support in projects that involve decision-making about the use of land and modern development activities. On the other hand, the identification of areas signifi-cant for archaeological research can contribute to archaeological knowledge and mini-mise the risk of unsuccessful excavations.<br> This paper presents a review of the most recent and representative applications of pre-dictive modelling in Archaeology, which demonstrate that predictive models can be suc-cessfully exploited by archaeological research and Cultural Heritage Management (CHM).
