Preliminary Study of the Predictive Modeling in Archaeological Site
Track: Archaeology
Author(s): Jin-young Lee

We need to preserve the land and cultural heritage sites in developing countries such as South Korea. An archaeological predictive model is a useful tool that indicates the relative probability of encountering an archaeological site. GIS technology can be used in all phases of the employment of predictive archaeological models, that is, in their development, testing, and application. Also by using a cell-based system that represents land parcel locations, GIS can make separate thematic map layers that contain values for environmental variables, like proximity to water, aspect, slope, and elevation, for each cell. We introduced the preliminary study of the predictive modeling in archaeological site using logistic regression from the National Heritage Database in the South Korea.
