Abstract
As we have suggested many times throughout the book, the general form of an archaeological problem seems to be “why an archaeological site is the way it is?” If we translate it into the spatial domain, we should be asking “where social agents performed their actions and work processes on the basis of the observed relationships between the actual locations of the social action material traces?,” or more precisely, “why those archaeological materials have been found here and not elsewhere?” Consequently, the automated archaeologist should infer where social agents performed their actions and work processes based on the observed relationships between the actual locations of the supposed material consequences of social action. This is the domain of application for a spatial analysis: to infer the location of what cannot be seen based on observed things that are causally related to the action to be placed. Knowing where someone made something based on what she did, is an inverse problem with multiple solutions, which can be solved using some of the methods and technologies already presented.
