Mathias Bellat presenting the poster in the Session on Remote sensing for desertic areas.

The first result of B07 project from the SFB1070 are presented at the CAA 2023 (Computing Applied for Archaeology) in Amsterdam. In this poster Mathias Bellat, Ruhollah Taghizadeh, Tobias Rentschler and Thomas Scholten from the Soil Sciences and Geomorphology working group are presenting archaeological predictive models in Kurdistan based on soil properties. It is the result of a sampling campaign conducted in the summer 2022 and intensifies archaeological surveys made from 2013 until 2019 under the supervision of Paola Sconzo, Peter Pfälzner and Benjamin Glissman.

This results are showing the importance of soil properties - in particular total Carbon and Calcium Carbonate - for predicting the presence of archaeological sites in desertic areas.
