Abstract

It is obvious that answering the first question is a condition to solve the second. In the same way as human archaeologists, the automated archaeologist needs to know what, where and when before explaining why some social group made something, and how. That is to say, only after having explained why archaeological observables are the way they are in terms of the consequence of some social activity or bio-geological process performed in the past or in the present, the automated archaeologist will try to explain more abstract causal processes.
