AI spots Mesopotamian archaeological sites in satellite images

New Scientist

An AI model predicted places (yellow) in Maysan province, Iraq, that should hide archaeological sites. Artificial intelligence could help archaeologists quickly identify new sites to investigate from satellite imagery or aerial photos, and even spot ones we might otherwise have missed. Archaeology is a painstaking, often slow, process. It involves looking for sites that are buried and these aren't always obvious from surface studies.
