Abstract

This study presents a model for the spatial structure of ceramic vessels across the architectural complex of Bazeh-Hur site (6th to 8th centuries AD), using Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation for modelling and Mean Relative Error and Root Mean Square Error for validation and cross-validation of the output modelled surface. The Regression analysis was also used to examine the vessel prediction per square meter and measure the correlation intensity between the values and distance. These geostatistical and quantitative methods not only enable us to characterize the arrangement of the architectural spaces where activities take place, but also to delimit several structures that are corroborated by the excavated areas. As a conclusion, we propose a high probability for the main entrance of the building in southern taq, which is also attested by a chief portico and a broad gypsum floor near to an ancient trade road.
