This captivating book delves into a groundbreaking machine-learning-based approach to address a range of traditional archaeological challenges, including archaeological site detection and site locational preferences. By utilizing institutional data collected from six Swiss regions (Zurich, Aargau, Grisons, Vaud, Geneva, and Fribourg), the author has developed an innovative conceptual framework rooted in the powerful Random Forest algorithm. Through meticulous analysis, the book showcases how this algorithm can effectively aid in modeling processes, particularly when dealing with diverse and incomplete archaeological datasets and associated cultural heritage information. Moreover, an extensive review of past and recent quantitative methods for archaeological predictive modeling is presented, providing valuable insights for readers.

The book serves as a comprehensive guide, equipping readers with the necessary tools to establish their protocol for handling uncertain data, predicting archaeological site locations, assessing the importance of environmental features, and proposing a robust model validation procedure. Its interdisciplinary appeal extends to academics and professionals in archaeology and cultural heritage management, offering a rich source of inspiration for future research endeavors in the realm of digital humanities and computational archaeology.
