Percolation Theory (Other Keyword)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward Banning. Isaac Ullah.

Percolation theory, used mainly in physics and materials science, describes the behavior of interconnected clusters in spatial lattices, but is also relevant to an age-old problem in archaeology: how best to detect buried sites with subsurface testing. It can provide insights into adaptive sampling protocols applied to two-dimensional scatters of artifacts. Our research focuses on adaptive sampling's impacts on our understanding of underlying distributions of artifacts and sites in survey by...
