Determination of Intervals Using Georeferenced Survey Simulation

Simulation tool to estimate the rate of success that surveys possessing user-specific characteristics have in identifying archaeological sites (or any groups of clouds of objects), given specific parameters of survey area, survey methods, and site properties. The survey approach used is largely based on the work of Kintigh (1988) .

DIGSS

DIGSS is a simulation tool to estimate the rate of success that surveys possessing user-specific characteristics have in identifying archaeological sites (or any groups of clouds of objects), given specific parameters of survey area, survey methods, and site properties.

A detailed description of application of the package to archaeology can be found in:

Pestle WJ, Hubbell C, Hubbe M (Submitted) (DIGSS) Determination of intervals using georeferenced survey simulation: An R package for subsurface survey. PLoS One.

Installation

You can install the released version of DIGSS from CRAN with:

install.packages("DIGSS")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("markhubbe/DIGSS")

Running DIGSS

A detailed description of DIGSS and examples of its use can be found in its vignette, accessible with:

vignette("DIGSS")

DIGSS has also been developed as a Shiny app, with more user-friendly interface: https://markhubbe.shinyapps.io/digss/
