Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Archaeological scientists use various instruments in the laboratory to analyze the chemical and physical make‐up of artifacts such as tools and decorative objects that are made out of chert, silex, and obsidian. The identification of the geologic and geographic source of these rocks allows the archaeologist to reconstruct the territories exploited by groups in the past, and to study the trade and exchange networks that existed among different societies.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
