Testing the waters: intertidal zone archaeology at the Beaches site (DeAk-01)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Beaches (DeAk-01) is a multicomponent archaeological site that is situated in southwestern Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. The site preserves evidence of the Maritime Archaic who were the first inhabitants on the Island of Newfoundland. Earlier excavations discovered that the anthropogenic horizon which holds information of their settlement and lifeways is under a blanket of peat. However, the Maritime Archaic archaeological evidence is compromised because of erosion due to rising sea levels, and it is frequented by collectors. This project examined the intertidal zone to re-assess the Maritime Archaic and peat horizons using three different survey techniques: core sampling, test pitting and the use of a cofferdam. Anthropogenic and peat horizons were identified, however the integrity and extent of the peat, and in-situ Maritime Archaic archaeological deposits were demonstrated to be at risk of destruction. It is recommended here that the Maritime Archaic component at the Beaches site be revisited before all cultural and geographic context is lost.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
