In particular, many fragmented carbonized seeds cannot be accurately identified by the naked eye. Among these, carbonized millet seeds are especially challenging due to their morphological similarity when charred. This study is the first in archaeobotany to apply and evaluate deep learning techniques for the automatic identification and species-level classification of carbonized millet seeds. A dataset comprising 3,000 images was constructed using modern <em>Panicum miliaceum</em> (broomcorn millet) and <em>Setaria italica</em> (foxtail millet) seeds in three different seed-condition image datasets: intact, fragmented, and carbonized. Three deep learning models—ResNet50d, YOLOv5s, and ViT-Tiny—were assessed systematically. The ResNet50d model performed best, and did so using carbonized seeds as a tranining set, achieving 95 % accuracy for distinguishing carbonized broomcorn millet and foxtail millet after a mere 3-hour training period, demonstrating its suitability for identifying the carbonized millet seeds. Notably, training with only 300 images per carbonized seed type (600 images in total) yielded stable F1-scores exceeding 90%, significantly reducing training costs. Comparative analyses across different seed-condition image datasets and image qualities revealed that carbonized seeds provided the most discriminating features. Removing image backgrounds further improved model accuracy. Grad-CAM visualizations confirmed both the effectiveness and interpretability of the ResNet50d model. This study highlights the transformative potential of deep learning for automating carbonized seed identification at the species level, offering a practical and efficient approach for the analysis of archaeobotanical remains.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48150,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Science-Reports","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 105537"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145691365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This multi-proxy analysis combined traceological, petro-archaeological, and chemicophysical analysis (Raman spectroscopy and SEM-EDS). Results show that the residues correspond to a sulphuric iron such as pyrite (FeS<sub>2</sub>) altered to hematite (Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), with partial loss of the sulphur component due to alteration processes like pseudomorphosis or perimorphosis. The causes of residue alteration can include water circulation, pH, and biological activity. While the Late Glacial archaeological record suggested that southern France was nearly devoid of chert strike-a-lights, the specimens from Le Colombier II prove otherwise. Extended comparisons allow us to question the scarcity of Paleolithic strike-a-lights in Europe and the reality of a pyrotechnical shift during the Late Glacial period.

Using statistical analyses, GIS-based approaches, and network analysis, we identify key theoretical and methodological developments and persisting trends in the field. We examine how Czech spatial archaeologists conceptualize their research and how they are incorporated within the European and global archaeological trends. Our findings revealed not only regional differences in Czech spatial archaeology, but also differences in research traditions.
