Abstract

Predictive Model for Archaeological Locations in the Hopi Reservation
Track: Archaeology
Authors: Jerry Holton

This model was developed to assist archaeologists to minimize their study area for locating archaeological sites. The model was developed in ModelBuilder using various environmental and topographical variables to better determine where the Hopi Indians settled. A web map application using ArcGIS API for JavaScript was also created to allow the non-GIS user perform site suitability analysis and to view archaeological site locations and their attribute data via HTML popups and/or hyperlinks.
