Description

The identification of areas that are insignificant for archaeological research can be used for guidance and support in projects that involve decision-making about the use of land and modern development activities. On the other hand, the identification of areas signifi-cant for archaeological research can contribute to archaeological knowledge and mini-mise the risk of unsuccessful excavations.
This paper presents a review of the most recent and representative applications of pre-dictive modelling in Archaeology, which demonstrate that predictive models can be suc-cessfully exploited by archaeological research and Cultural Heritage Management (CHM).
