This is a predictive modeling exercise that I completed for my Archaeology GIS class. I used a DEM datafile downloaded from the USGS to create several elevation related files such as Aspect, Slope, and Contours, and reclassified them to give the lower regions more weight. I then created the weighted overlay map above to show what areas on the map might have a better chance of containing archaeological artifacts or settlement activity. The dark green areas have the highest chance, while the red shows higher elevation and a much lower chance.
