A methodological proposal for estimating the existence of archaeological sites at infrastructure works
An automatic method for facing the risk of exposure of cryptic archaeological sites due to large infrastructure projects in rural areas is presented. It works under budget constraints in the information market, and is useful for making decisions on the control of environmental systems. After characterizing the main variables that describe the probability of the existence of any site in an area where works are projected, a function is generated through an artificial neural network or some other statistical process to find these probabilities in each zone of the rural area. The method provides cartography with probabilities of existence of archaeological sites, a useful tool for choosing the best location for the planned infrastructure. This method of analysis of archeological evidence reduces the information gathering cost to one third of traditional methods and provides probabilities with satisfactory accuracy.
