Imagery-based survey is capable of producing archaeological datasets that complement those collected through field-based methods, widening the scope analysis beyond regions. The Geospatial Platform for Andean Culture, History and Archaeology (GeoPACHA) enables systematic registry imagery data a ‘federated’ approach. Using GeoPACHA, teams pursue problem-specific research questions common schema interface allows inter-project comparisons, analyses syntheses. authors present an overview...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have profoundly transformed the field of remote sensing, revolutionizing data collection, processing, and analysis. Traditionally reliant on manual interpretation task-specific models, sensing has been significantly enhanced by advent foundation models--large-scale, pre-trained AI models capable performing a wide array tasks with unprecedented accuracy efficiency. This paper provides comprehensive survey in domain, covering released between June 2021...
Archaeological surveys conducted through the inspection of high-resolution satellite imagery promise to transform how archaeologists conduct large-scale regional and supra-regional research. However, conducting manual is labour- time-intensive, low target prevalence substantially increases likelihood miss-errors (false negatives). In this article, authors compare results an survey using artificial intelligence computer vision techniques (Convolutional Neural Networks) a manually by team...
Fog oases ( lomas ) present pockets of verdant vegetation within the arid coastal desert Andean South America and archaeological excavation some has revealed a long history human exploitation these landscapes. Yet settlements are under-represented in datasets due to their tendency be located remote inter-valley areas. Here, authors employ satellite imagery survey map locations anthropogenic surface features along central Peruvian coast. They observe two categories features, large corrals...
El sitio de Huari, centro una vasta formación política expansionista, se cuenta entre las ciudades más grandes Sudamérica precolombina. La ciudad existió durante aproximadamente cuatrocientos años el Horizonte Medio (600-1000 EC). Señalado como uno los primeros centros la civilización andina por Cieza León en siglo XVI, e investigado primera vez Julio C. Tello 1931, ha establecido su importancia a través casi un investigación arqueológica. Sin embargo, misma escala del complicado comprensión...
The monumental scale agricultural infrastructure systems built by Andean peoples during pre-Hispanic times have enabled intensive agriculture in the high-relief, arid/semi-arid landscape of Southern Peruvian Andes. Large tracts these labor-intensive been abandoned, however, owing large measure to a range demographic, economic, and political crises precipitated Spanish invasion 16th century CE. This research seeks better understand dynamics intensification deintensification Andes inventorying...
ABSTRACTABSTRACTArchaeology has long faced fundamental issues of sampling and scalar representation. Traditionally, the local-to-regional-scale views settlement patterns are produced through systematic pedestrian surveys. Recently, manual survey satellite aerial imagery enabled continuous distributional archaeological phenomena at interregional scales. However, such ‘brute force’ methods both time- labour-intensive, as well prone to inter-observer differences in sensitivity specificity. The...
