Abstract

Significance: Monumental construction was one way that past societies reconfigured their landscapes in response to social and environmental factors. Given that these factors changed through space and time, societies often constructed multiple types of monuments. We develop a maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt) framework for identifying the spatioenvironmental factors that mattered most in the placement of different monument types. We turned to MaxEnt, given its ability to model spatial distributions from presence-only data. With modern development continuing to destroy archaeological sites across the globe, archaeological datasets, including monument locations, are evermore restricted to being presence-only data. Our framework shows how archaeologists can harness MaxEnt to develop robust models of past cultural processes, including monumentality, even when faced with limited, presence-only data.

  • Maxent has been broadly used by archaeologists to predict archaeological site locations in different environments and time-periods around the world.

  • Having the ability to derive predictive models from presence-only records is particularly relevant in archaeology, as archaeologists often know where some, but not all, sites are located, and they rarely know for certain where past sites are absent.

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.
