Abstract | Archeological location site models are developed to determine where early settlement areas were likely situated. A test was designed using sample data for calibration to provide further information on the predictive capacity of an undescribed location model. This model is representative of a particular region of the Pinyon Canyon Maneuver Site. Results of the test show that the model has demonstrated the ability to point out likely open-air site locations, although not as successfully as other models that have been previously developed. |
