Included chapters provide unique perspectives on uncertainty in\narchaeological modeling, ranging in both theoretical and methodological\norientation. The strengths and weaknesses of various identification and\nmitigation techniques are discussed, in particular sensitivity analysis. The\nchapters demonstrate that for archaeological modeling purposes, there is no\nquick fix for uncertainty; indeed, each archaeological model requires intensive\nconsideration of uncertainty and specific applications for calibration and\nvalidation. As very few such techniques have been problematized in a systematic\nmanner or published in the archaeological literature, this volume aims to\nprovide guidance and direction to other modelers in the field by distilling\nsome basic principles for model testing derived from insight gathered in the\ncase studies presented. Additionally, model applications and their attendant\nuncertainties are presented from distinct spatio-temporal contexts and will\nappeal to a broad range of archaeological modelers. This volume will also be of\ninterest to non-modeling archaeologists, as consideration of uncertainty when\ninterpreting the archaeological record is also a vital concern for the\ndevelopment of non-formal (or implicit) models of human behavior in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319278315\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-27833-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 175\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45227786895500,"sku":"9783319278315","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319278315.jpg?v=1776431162","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319278315","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
