Modern archaeology has to cope with tasks beyond scholarly pottering. Excavations on industrial scale and vast amount of finds and evidences are ahead of us to save and preserve for the future and create adequate analysis for the present.
Quantitative methods can help in forecasting, handling and investigating the archaeological heritage. Predictive modelling can help us to find - or avoid - potential sites, assessing the 'archaeological hazard'. Sampling techniques and statistical methods can help in deriving useful and reliable information from masses of potential data. Information technology solutions can support the storage and retrieval of the large amount of data collected that should be made accessible and known for the professionals as well as the wide public.
The 4th Commission of U.I.S.P.P. plans to address these challenging problems on the next meeting scheduled June 2009 in Budapest, hosted by the Hungarian National Museum. This first Call of Papers is intended to draw attention and draft a preliminary program with exact date and conditions of participation.
