Big data is not without its blind spots, highlighting that methodological choices have political implications.
“Yet, as VanValkenburgh & Dufton (2020) have pointed out, such big data is not without its blind spots, again highlighting that our methodological choices have political implications.”

'Brute force' and automated approaches are time and resource intensive, often beyond the scope of research budgets.
“While ‘brute force’ and automated approaches offer distinct advantages for discovering archaeological sites in high resolution satellite imagery, they are also time and resource intensive–often beyond the scope of research budgets [29, 33, 34].”
From Unstructured satellite survey detects up to 20% of archaeological sites in coastal valleys of southern Peru (2024) · cites this paper as [34]

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.
