French-Ethiopian Archaeological Mission in Eastern Tigray (Ethiopia). Report on the 2020 season. The Region of Wolwalo.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The main purpose of this season’s work was to characterise the area of Wolwalo, where a group of archaeological sites had been identified during the two previous seasons (see 2017 and 2018 reports), leading us to consider the possibility of the presence of an antique town in this area. This antique town is marked by several surface concentrations of pottery often associated to visible remains (walls, buildings, graves). The surfacepottery is rather homogenous, but distinct from the one at Wakarida. A first trial trench carried out in 2018 allowed us to obtain a 14C dating of this pottery assemblage between the 7th and the 9th century CE. This period marks the fall of the kingdom of Aksum. Since it remains scarcely documented, it prompted us to investigate the area.Four axes of research were conducted:• The survey of the Wolwalo area was completed in the south-east quarter of the plateau (J. Schiettecatte).• An environmental study of the plateau of Wolwalo was initiated through a geomorphological survey (N. Blond).• A geophysical survey was conducted in the area of Gra Emni, north of Wolwalo (R. Al-Khatib Alkontar & H. Reiller).• Excavations were conducted in the area of Gra Emni (D. Albukaai, M.-B. Dhorne & G. Tavernier).• The pottery material was studied by Anne Benoist

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
