Do you happen to know if anyone out there is using DL techniques for identifying and most importantly for categorizing ancient pottery? I’m asking because until now most of that identifying and categorization has been of course made only “manually”, by archeologists themselves, with, imho, different levels of “success”. On top of genuine human errors (i.e. no-one can visually remember and compare all the pottery from a certain geographical region) there is also the added geo-political factor that must be taken into consideration, i.e. an archeologist from a specific country won’t categorize that easily a certain piece of pottery as belonging to a neighboring country/culture and thus a potential “enemy”. I’m thinking that further automatizing this process will get rid of human error.
