Spatial and quantitative analyses of Sasanian ceramics from the architectural spaces of Bazeh-Hur chahartaq

This study presents a possible spacial structure of ceramics across the architectural complex remains of Bazeh-Hur (6th to 8th centuries AD) through interpolation analysis. The output surface was validated by specifying subsets and cross-validation during the Mean Relative Error (MRE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) geoprocessing. The Regression analysis was also used to examine the vessel prediction per square meter and measure the correlation intensity between the values and distance. These geostatistical and quantitative methods enable us to characterize the necessary arrangement of the architectural spaces in which a quality of activities can take place efficiently. The predictive model also identifies the limits of the structures which were then corroborated by the excavated areas. These analytical techniques established the high probability of the main entrance of the building in southern taq which is also attested by a chief portico and a broad gypsum floor near to an ancient trade road.
