The model detects hunting pits, hollows dug to trap game, in 0.5 m lidar DEMs and writes them as polygons. It was trained and tested on 2,519 hand-mapped pits in northern Sweden, 80% for training and 20% for testing (Lidberg et al. 2024, Journal of Field Archaeology 49:395–405). On the test pits it found 70%, 15% of its detections were false, and F1 was 0.76.

Run Hunting-pit detection on your data
The lab runs this on its own compute, in a container, with the inputs and parameters recorded alongside the result. Initial scoping conversations are free.
