"The Egyptian Government created the Egyptian Antiquities Information System (EAIS) and a Comprehensive Development Plan to help protect cultural resources in the Theban Necropolis, Luxor, Egypt. By creating a cognitive predictive model and assessing its utility in locating tombs, researchers could be aided in the understanding of why these locations were preferred by the ancient Egyptians. The cognitive evaluations used include tomb location relative to geology, slope, elevation, fractures, and religious/burial practices. A set of sensitivity surfaces was created using Geographical Information System (GIS) / statistical analysis of measured and derived environmental and cultural attributes. Analysis of fifteen sensitivity surfaces produced two viable models which could be combined with the EAIS database to help show which areas should be avoided or studied further. The most important information generated from this research is the fact that there is a lack of focus in the archaeological world concerning why tomb locations were chosen."^^ .

"Conditional GIS surfaces and their potential for archaeological predictive modelling"^^ . "Conditional GIS surfaces are well known in archaeological applications. Perhaps the most familiar of these are visibility analyses and friction layers (the basis of cost distance evaluations). Archaeological studies however tend to limit the use of such surfaces to purely environmental variables with little explanatory or analytical power. Friction, for example, is usually constructed entirely from a generated slope surface, occasionally with the addition of some physical barriers (such as waterways or perhaps vegetation differences). There are as well, a multitude of potential “conditions” to place upon spatial parameters which include strongly cultural ideas about knowledge, perception, familiarity, territoriality, risk, and other kinds of cognitive behaviours. Here we explore the kinds of “conditions” which could provide a great deal of explanatory or analytical understanding to our GIS archaeological applications, to categorize them into a meaningful framework, and to provide examples from a recent predictive model of how such surfaces can be applied."^^ .
