Abstract

Site suitability modeling in archaeology has numerous applications in both research and cultural resource management contexts. However, oftentimes these models are built on limited or abstracted variables which do not adequately account for the human decision-making process. This approach uses seven culturally-specific variables from the southern Northwest Coast in order to develop a model of site suitability for Indigenous settlement in southern Oregon. The results of this model are validated through comparison with the location of 201 archaeological sites. The choice of variables also provides sufficient detail for patterns to emerge in the relationship between site type and relative resource availability. This study therefore demonstrates both the accuracy of models produced via this approach and its utility as a research tool for investigating archaeological settlement patterns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
