This volume deals with the pressing issue of uncertainty in
archaeological modeling. Detecting where and when uncertainty is
introduced to the modeling process is critical, as are strategies
for minimizing, reconciling, or accommodating such uncertainty.
Included chapters provide unique perspectives on uncertainty in
archaeological modeling, ranging in both theoretical and
methodological orientation. The strengths and weaknesses of various
identification and mitigation techniques are discussed, in
particular sensitivity analysis. The chapters demonstrate that for
archaeological modeling purposes, there is no quick fix for
uncertainty; indeed, each archaeological model requires intensive
consideration of uncertainty and specific applications for
calibration and validation. As very few such techniques have been
problematized in a systematic manner or published in the
archaeological literature, this volume aims to provide guidance and
direction to other modelers in the field by distilling some basic
principles for model testing derived from insight gathered in the
case studies presented. Additionally, model applications and their
attendant uncertainties are presented from distinct spatio-temporal
contexts and will appeal to a broad range of archaeological
modelers. This volume will also be of interest to non-modeling
archaeologists, as consideration of uncertainty when interpreting
the archaeological record is also a vital concern for the
development of non-formal (or implicit) models of human behavior in
the past.
