Intelligence and Predictive Analytics

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Labor market intelligence can tell us about the size, shape and dynamics of professional archaeology, as it is today and as it has been in the past. This valuable information helps individual archaeologists to see where they are in their careers, helps employers to recognize their place in the market and helps educators see where the students they have trained have made a difference. Predictive modeling takes the data gathered by labor market intelligence and creates a tool that employers can use to plan the development of their workforces, educators can use to plan future courses and individual archaeologists to plan their careers. Building on the authors’ global experience of gathering labor market intelligence, this paper will look at how data can be used to support predictive analytics which go beyond describing the current and past state of affairs, and how this can create actionable, forward-facing predictions on how archaeology will change in the future.
