The literature in the field of archaeological predictive models has grown in the last years, looking for new factors the most effective methods to introduce. However, where predictive models are used for archaeological heritage management, they could benefit from using a more speedy and consequently useful methods including some well-consolidated factors studied in the literature. In this paper, an operative archaeological predictive model is developed, validated and discussed, in order to test its effectiveness. It is applied to Yangshao period (5000–3000 BC) in the Songshan area, where Chinese civilization emerged and developed, and uses 563 known settlement sites. The satisfactory results herein achieved clearly suggest that the model herein proposed can be reliably used to predict the geographical location of unknown settlements.

建立仰韶时期松山地区的一种操作性预测模型

近年来，考古预测模型领域的文献不断增长，正在寻找引入最有效方法的新因素。但是，在将预测模型用于考古遗产管理的情况下，可以从使用更快速且因此有用的方法（包括一些文献中已充分综合的因素）中受益。在本文中，开发，验证和讨论了一个可操作的考古预测模型，以测试其有效性。它应用于松山地区的仰韶时期（公元前5000-3000年），那里是中华文明产生和发展的地方，并使用了563个已知的定居点。本文获得的令人满意的结果清楚地表明，本文提出的模型可以可靠地用于预测未知定居点的地理位置。
