Archaeo Analyst-AI-powered Archaeological Analysis

Example

An archaeologist has collected pottery fragments from different layers of an excavation site. Archaeo Analyst can perform statistical tests to determine if there are significant differences in the decoration styles of pottery over time, suggesting changes in cultural practices.

Scenario

This function is applied when researchers need to quantitatively analyze the distribution of artifacts or features within a site to identify patterns or trends.

Example

After excavating a site with multiple occupation layers, an archaeologist uses Archaeo Analyst to create a Harris Matrix. This helps to visually represent the stratigraphic sequence of the site, showing the relative chronological order of all contexts.

Scenario

This is particularly useful in complex sites where understanding the sequence of deposition is crucial for interpreting the site's history.

Example

Archaeo Analyst can analyze magnetometry and resistivity data from a geophysical survey to identify potential archaeological features beneath the ground, such as ditches, walls, or pits, without invasive digging.

Scenario

Applied in pre-excavation phases, this function helps in planning excavations more efficiently and targeting areas of interest.
