Abstract

This study examines how the results of predictive archaeological models can be improved with the integration of new or more accurate spatial datasets. Based on a study area near Polgár (NE Hungary) I have investigated the results of the application of data of the registered site database and of new field surveis, and the issue, how the „human factor” effected the model’s performance in case of the same modelling process and parameters.
