Archaeological deposit modelling comprises a wide variety of approaches to addressing the interrelated challenges of interpreting archaeological sites and landscapes, efficiently targeting fieldwork and managing the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental resources. By interpolating between data points, models provide visualisations and quantifications of layers and deposits, in either 2D or 3D. The sources of data can be broad, linking archives with new fieldwork, and combining boreholes and geotechnical data with the results from geophysics and excavation. By integrating artefact distributions, deposit models can assist in archaeological interpretation, and can identify patterns and gaps in past cultural activity. Furthermore, they provide a means for mitigation and landscape management, such as through identifying or predicting areas of greater archaeological or palaeoenvironmental sensitivity.With thewidespread accessibility of digital tools, the potential value provided by deposit modelling is within reach, if only there were sufficient published examples of how this might be achieved.
