About this title

Synopsis

The Netherlands is one of the few countries in Europe where heritage experts and land developers use predictive modeling to avoid destroying future archaelocial sites, even though many scholars consider the application for this purpose highly controversial. The contributors to Archaeological Prediction and Risk Management offer an overview of the various methods of predictive modeling and evaluate how the models are, or should be, used by stakeholders in cultural heritage management in the Netherlands.
