Abstract
Multi-proxy approaches utilising various scientific methods are increasingly applied in archaeological investigations to tackle issues of equifinality. However, the results achieved by such methods can be ambiguous or vague, and their combined use is often complicated by the incompatibility of different datasets. This talk will discuss the value of a model integrating decision tree algorithms and Bayesian confirmation to archaeological research through a case study in which paleoenvironmental indicators of activities, geochemistry and phytolith analysis, were used to aid the interpretation of the use of space at the Neolithic sites of Wadi el-Jilat, Jordan.
Series This talk is part of the Computational and Digital Archaeology Lab (CDAL) series.
