基于GIS与XGBoost算法的新石器时代考古遗址预测模型研究

Research on the prediction model of Neolithic archaeological sites based on GIS and XGBoost algorithm

  • 摘要: 构建考古遗址预测模型可以精准识别考古遗址的潜在空间范围,有助于对尚未发现的考古遗址进行前瞻性保护.本文以山东省为研究区域,收集新石器时代考古遗址(不含墓葬)1 916个为研究样本,按照1∶1的比例随机提取非考古遗址(1 916个)作为负样本,选取高程、坡度、坡向、剖面曲率、平面曲率、微地貌、坡位、濒水距离8个地理环境影响因素构建考古遗址预测模型的指标体系,运用GIS空间分析方法,采用XGBoost算法构建考古遗址预测模型,进行潜在考古遗址空间范围的预测同时进行了重要因子分析.研究结果表明:1)运用XGBoost算法构建的考古遗址预测模型可获取较高的精度,本研究的AUC测试值为0.85;2)用最佳样本训练后的模型,将结果划分为低、中、高这3种等级,并得出考古遗址主要分布在平原地区;3)根据XGBoost算法对影响因子重要性进行排序,坡位、微地貌、高程的影响因子重要性排前3位,是影响研究区域新石器时代考古遗址选址的主要因素.研究发现XGBoost算法具有较好的稳定性和预测能力,构建的模型为考古遗址预测提供了新的研究方法,并为田野考古发掘提供了重要技术支撑,揭示了新石器时代古人类选址与地理环境的关系.

     

    Abstract: This paper focuses on Shandong Province as the study area, collecting 1916 Neolithic archaeological sites (excluding burials) as the study sample. It randomly extracts 1916 non-archaeological sites as negative samples at a 1:1 ratio. Eight geographic environmental influencing factors, such as elevation, slope, aspect, profile curvature, planar curvature, micro-geomorphology, slope position, and distance to water boundaries, are selected to construct the index system for the archaeological site prediction model. The GIS spatial analysis method is employed to build the predictive model of archaeological sites using the XGBoost algorithm. The model predicts the spatial extent of potential archaeological sites and conducts an important factor analysis. The results indicate that: (1) the archaeological site prediction model constructed by the XGBoost algorithm achieves high accuracy, with an AUC value of 0.85 in this study; (2) the model trained with optimal samples categorizes the results into low, medium, and high grades, and concludes that the archaeological sites are mainly distributed in the plains area; (3) according to the XGBoost algorithm to rank the importance of the influencing factors, slope position, microgeomorphology, and elevation are the top three factors influencing the siting of Neolithic archaeological sites in the study area. It is found that the XGBoost algorithm has good stability and prediction ability, and the constructed model provides a new research method for the prediction of archaeological sites, and provides an important technical support for field archaeological excavation, which reveals the relationship between the site selection of ancient human beings in the Neolithic era and the geographic environment.
