Abstract
The task of this automated archaeologist will be to assign to any artifact, represented by some features, visual or not, some meaning or explanatory concept. In other words, the performance of such an automated archaeologist is a three-stage process: Feature extraction, recognition, and explanation by which an input (description of the archaeological record) is transformed into an explanatory concept, in this case, the function of an archaeologically perceived entity (Figure 1). In order for the system to make a decision as to whether the object is a knife or a scraper, input information should be recognized, that is “categorized,” in such a way that once “activated” the selected categories will guide the selection of a response.
