Mn/Model is a statewide, GIS-based archaeological predictive model being developed for the Minnesota Development of Transportation (Mn/DOT), with funding from the Federal Highway Administration. The project's goal is to improve efficiency and better conserve cultural resources by providing new information pertinent to transportation and land use planning. The model predicts the probability of finding archaeological sites on the basis of the relationships between known sites and a variety of environmental factors. This paper briefly summarizes the background and context of the project, explains the process of developing the model, presents some of the results to date, and discusses some of the work still to be done.
