What North American Archaeology Needs to Take Advantage of the Digital Data Revolution

“…Since then, interest in predictive modeling has remained strong, not just in the United States but throughout the world. Furthermore, there have been tremendous advances in modeling with all types of models emerging-correlative, deductive, expert, subsurface, significance-each employing different logic, methods, and goals (see Doelle et al 2016;Heilen 2020;Verhagen and Whitley 2020). Predictive models are now used to manage archaeological resources for federal installations (e.g., Fort Polk; Anderson and Smith 2003), states (e.g., Minnesota and Washington), and even nations (e.g., the Netherlands; Kamermans and van Leusen 2005).…”

Predictive Modeling for Criminology Licensure Examination Success Through Mathematical Modelling

“…There were studies that have explored the use of predictive modeling in various fields. Verhagen (2020) highlights its application in predicting the location of archaeological sites, emphasizing the importance of accurate and representative datasets. Shah (2017) provides a comprehensive overview of the process of building a predictive model, discussing methodologies such as CRISP, DMAIC, and SEMMA.…”

Archaeological predictive modelling in underwater contexts. Utility and challenges

“…Whilst predictive models (PMs) have been increasingly adopted in terrestrial contexts (for a review of theory, methods and cases [4], [5], [6]), they are still underdeveloped in underwater and maritime settings, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. Among the limited examples in Europe are the second and third generations of the indicative map of archaeological values developed by the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (i.e., De Indicatieve Kaart van Archeologische Waarden) [7], [8] and the 'Refining Areas of Maritime Archaeological Potential (AMAPs) for Shipwrecks' project, which was carried out by the Bournemouth University, in association with the Southampton University, Seazone Solutions Ltd. and the National Museum of Denmark, on behalf of the English Heritage Archaeological Commissions Program [9], [10].…”
