ABSTRACT The concept of “big” data is nothing new to archaeologists; we have long made a profession of collecting, organizing, and analyzing a surfeit of data describing everything from minute artifact attributes to landscape-wide environmental characteristics. Regardless of this abundance, we have and continue to confront the self-same problem inherent in “big” data, namely what analyses will actually help us use these data to advance understandings of past human behaviors. With burgeoning remote sensing technologies archaeology faces a new wave of “big” data, but how do these techniques improve our ability to make the inferential leaps to bridge the present to the past and bring new insights forward? We argue that, to date, remote sensing techniques (satellite, aerial, and unpersonned aerial imagery) have been applied somewhat narrowly to mostly high-resolution site-based research in archaeology. To truly unleash the capabilities of these techniques, and expand our capacity for wrangling “big” data to more fully investigate past patterns, we need to conduct iterative analyses incorporating remotely sensed data on bounded archaeological sites and regions and unbounded landscapes. A case study from the Late Precontact (ca. A.D. 1200–1600) period in the northern Great Lakes of North America detailing how such an iterative approach can be initiated is explored here.

遥感大数据及文化特征检测与过去景观过程分析的迭代方法

摘要“大数据”的概念对考古学家而言并不是什么新鲜事物。长期以来,我们从事收集,组织和分析大量数据的专业工作,这些数据描述了从微小的文物属性到景观环境特征的所有内容。不管数量如此之多,我们已经并且将继续面对“大”数据中固有的相同问题,即哪些分析实际上将帮助我们使用这些数据来加深对过去人类行为的理解。随着新兴的遥感技术的发展,考古学面临着新的“大”数据浪潮,但是这些技术如何提高我们的能力,以进行推断性的跨越,将现在与过去联系起来并带来新的见解?我们认为,迄今为止,遥感技术(卫星,天线,和无人驾驶的航空影像)已被狭窄地应用于大多数高分辨率的考古现场研究。为了真正释放这些技术的功能,并扩大我们处理“大”数据的能力以更全面地研究过去的模式,我们需要进行迭代分析,并结合有限范围内考古遗址和地区以及无边界景观上的遥感数据。在北美北部大湖区,从后期预接触时期(约公元1200–1600年)开始进行案例研究,详细探讨了如何启动这种迭代方法。我们需要进行迭代分析,并结合有限范围内考古遗址和地区以及无边界景观上的遥感数据。在北美北部大湖区,从后期预接触时期(约公元1200–1600年)开始进行案例研究,详细探讨了如何启动这种迭代方法。我们需要进行迭代分析,并结合有限范围内考古遗址和地区以及无边界景观上的遥感数据。在北美北部大湖区,从后期预接触时期(约公元1200–1600年)开始进行案例研究,详细探讨了如何启动这种迭代方法。
