... Therefore, the approach currently deemed most accurate and reliable for archaeological site prediction is maximum entropy which accounts for the uncertainty and incompleteness of archaeological data by introducing pseudoabsence data, thereby overcoming the lack of true-absence data (Li et al., 2022;Wachtel et al., 2018;Yaworsky et al., 2020). White and Barber (2012) provide a different approach with their "From Everywhere to Everywhere" (FETE) model which uses Dijkstra's popular shortest path algorithm to predict travel probabilities. They suggest that the model might also be used to predict settlement locations by identifying junctions of the modelled trade routes. ...
