Abstract
For several years now archaeology has made use of methodologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Adaptive Systems (AAS). However, there are still only a few experiments that involve the spatial aspect, and in particular spatial analyses of the territory. Moreover, we are often faced with theoretical approaches, procedures that cannot be used or repeated by the scientific community because they are based on proprietary or undivulged algorithms. The first part of the paper is focused on a short historical retrospective of the applicative experiences of AI and GIS, from the New Archaeology pioneers to the latest experiments in predictive approaches. Subsequently, we present an open source application, both from the software as well as the procedural point of view, oriented to the creation of predictive maps and focused in particular on the study of ancient settlements.
