Session: #1071 Machine Learning Methods in Archaeological Research: New Approaches, Barriers and Standardization
During the last years we have entered a new phase in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in archaeology. The main advances within machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have been successfully implemented in multiple archaeological case studies. However, it is easy to see that the use of these new methods comes with its […]

Near East irrigation studies beyond SRTM and CORONA. Preliminary results of the UnderTheSands project
Wittfogel’s hydraulic hypothesis (1957) motivated much of the early archaeological discourse in the Near East to seek a connection between large-scale irrigation and the centralized power in early states; provoking researchers to challenge his views. The current research shows a more complicated picture2. Various agencies controlled the irrigation works, but water management was indeed the […]

UnderTheSands: TanDEM-X, multi-temporal Sentinel, and Hexagon satellite imagery in the study of the Murghab’s irrigation landscape
Landscape undergoes long-term social-natural co-evolution (McGlade 2005, 460), particularly evident in the alluvial plains where irrigation has been initially practised as a human adaptation to natural hydrology, eventually leading to significant landscape modification (Wilkinson, Rayne, and Jotheri 2015). This makes the study of irrigation landscapes challenging and necessitates using innovative methods, like those proposed by […]

Water of life: On the ancient irrigation detection and analysis using advanced remote sensing methods. Preliminary results of the UnderTheSands project
The paper’s goals is to present the EU-funded project “UnderTheSands: Ancient irrigation detection and analysis using advanced remote sensing methods” (HORIZON-MSCA-2021-PF-01-101062705). UnderTheSands aims to identify irrigation networks and examine their temporal dynamics using four study areas in Turkmenistan, Iran, and Iraq. The project aims to apply BigData in archaeological research via Google Earth Engine (GEE) […]

The preliminary results of application of remote sensing and machine learning methods in the studies of flint mining landscape in Egypt
The archaeological studies of flint mining are a vast topic in prehistoric research worldwide. A variety of methods have been used. Many of them focus on the studies of the unique relief of terrain in areas where flint was extracted. Egypt is ideally situated to examine both natural and human-made terrain changes in the landscape. […]
