Abstract
The nature and extent of the urban development of Roman Gerasa (modern Jerash) has for decades been a topic of discussion among scholars studying settlement patterns as well as public and private life in the Roman empire. Research has, however, mostly focused on the development of the city along its main street. The aim of a new archaeological project, which was initiated in 2011, is to investigate the settlement history of the Northwest Quarter of Jerash through all periods. Following an architectural and geophysical survey, two excavation campaigns have been undertaken. The Northwest Quarter, the highest area within the walled city of Gerasa, is located west of the Artemision. The investigation has so far revealed that the urban situation in the Roman period in this area of Gerasa differs from what has previously been assumed. This prominently located area seems to have been sparsely occupied during Roman times; only traces of quarries and water installations can be dated to this period. Settlement in this area of the city was at its peak during Byzantine and Islamic times. The results of this project therefore change our understanding of the overall settlement history of Roman Gerasa.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
