The Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Humanities and Social Sciences: Archaeology and History as a Case Study

Archaeology, history, artificial intelligence, and technology are currently experiencing a growing integration, with archaeological surveys increasingly leveraging technology, including artificial intelligence. This fusion is crucial for the preservation and comprehension of humanity's cultural heritage. Artificial intelligence and analytical methods play a key role in processing large datasets related to artifacts, aiding in more efficient archaeological endeavors. Furthermore, satellite imagery and unmanned aerial vehicles facilitate the documentation of archaeological sites with exceptional precision, enabling thorough monitoring and conservation efforts. The escalating predictive capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have garnered significant attention across diverse scientific domains. Archaeologists can now harness AI to sift through extensive archaeological data, enabling informed decision-making regarding the preservation and safeguarding of archaeological treasures, as well as pinpointing the significance of various archaeological findings. This technology assists in determining the optimal excavation sites within intricate cultural landscapes.
