APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ARCHAEOLOGY

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing archaeology by providing new ways to analyze data and interpret material culture. Its applications range from identifying artifacts and sites through image analysis to predicting past behaviors and cultural development using predictive modeling. AI algorithms automate tasks like classifying artifacts, reconstructing 3D models, and recognizing spatial patterns. It also helps integrate diverse data sources such as remote sensing data, archaeological databases, and texts, leading to more comprehensive understandings of the past. Despite challenges like data bias and the need for reliable validation, AI has great potential for advancing our knowledge of human history and cultural heritage.
