Computational archaeology is an interdisciplinary field that applies computational methods and techniques to study archaeological data and solve problems in archaeology. This field combines traditional archaeological practices with modern computational tools, such as data analysis, modeling, simulation, and geographic information systems (GIS), to enhance research and interpretation of archaeological findings. Key aspects of computational archaeology include: 1. **Data Analysis**: Utilizing statistical methods and algorithms to analyze large datasets, such as artifact distributions, excavation records, and environmental data.
