Finding Lost Sites in Jordan: Wadi Qusaybah Archaeological Survey

Описание: The Wadi Quseiba Survey was a University of Toronto survey for archaeological sites in northwestern Jordan, on the east edge of the Jordan Rift Valley, in 2012 and 2013. It used calibration of surveyors' sweep widths to evaluate survey effectiveness and involved experiments with predictive modelling and new Bayesian methods for optimal allocation of survey effort. In this video, Matthew Walls interviews Ted Banning about the rationale of the survey and what he expects surveys like this to accomplish.
