HIS 2 - 4

What is the primary goal of the Girsu Project mentioned in the passage?

• To discover ancient artwork hidden in tombs
• To find ancient written records in caves
• To locate and document an ancient palace
• To explore modern technologies in drones
• To recreate historical battle scenes

According to the passage, what do Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) help archaeologists do?

• Collect artifacts faster than humans
• Sort thousands of pottery designs into categories
• Create 3D models of ancient ruins
• Fly drones to discover new sites
• Restore broken pottery to its original form

Which university is associated with the development of the machine learning system for sorting pottery?

• Southern California University
• Northern Arizona University
• Western New Mexico University
• University of Colorado
• Eastern Washington University

How did the machine compare to experienced archaeologists when sorting pottery shards?

• It worked slower but more accurately than all archaeologists
• It performed better than two archaeologists and similarly to the other two
• It only matched the speed of one archaeologist
• It was unable to outperform any human archaeologist
• It worked faster but less accurately than all archaeologists

Who is MOST LIKELY to use drones and AI for archaeological discoveries in the future?

• Doctors in modern hospitals
• Tour guides working at museums
• Scientists in the field of anthropology
• Construction workers rebuilding ancient structures
• Historians writing books on ancient kings

Which project is MOST LIKELY to involve 3D documentation workflows?

• The Girsu Project
• The Pompeii I.14 Project
• The Northern Arizona University Project
• The Arizona State Desert Excavation Project
• The Indiana Jones Historical Investigation Team

If Indiana Jones were piloting a drone today, what is the MOST LIKELY purpose he would use it for in archaeology?

• To scare away local animals from the dig site
• To locate ancient structures with minimal environmental damage
• To film movies about his adventures from the sky
• To deliver important tools to archaeologists
• To recreate ancient battles using aerial views

Imagine you are leading a new excavation team. What recent technology discussed in the passage would you MOST LIKELY use to document your findings?

• A traditional notebook and pen
• Structure-from-motion photogrammetry
• A handheld magnifying glass
• A tape recorder for voice memos
• A vintage camera with film rolls

How does the performance of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) compare to that of experienced archaeologists in the pottery-sorting project?

• The CNN outperformed all archaeologists in every task
• The CNN was slower but more accurate than the archaeologists
• The CNN outperformed two archaeologists and was comparable to two others
• The CNN matched the speed but not the accuracy of the archaeologists
• The CNN did not perform as well as any of the archaeologists

How is 3D documentation using photogrammetry different from traditional excavation methods?

• 3D documentation uses drawings, while traditional methods use photos
• 3D models allow for digital twins, while traditional methods rely on physical sketches and notes
• 3D documentation requires a lot of manual data input
• 3D models are faster but less detailed than traditional photos
• Traditional excavation requires less accuracy than 3D documentation
