In doing so, it benefits from technological developments in the field of archaeological prospection over the last 20 years, including LiDAR-based Digital Terrain Models, special visualizations, and automated site detection. The latter can generate comprehensive datasets with manageable effort that are useful for answering large-scale archaeological research questions. This article presents a highly automated workflow, in which a Convolutional Neural Network is used to detect burial mounds in the proximity of remotely located hollow ways. Detected mounds are then analyzed with respect to their distribution and a possible spatial relation to hollow ways. The detection works well, produces a reasonable number of results, and achieved a precision of at least 77%. The distribution of mounds shows a clear maximum in the radius of 2000\u20132500 m. This supports future research such as visibility or cost path analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14112535","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T00:25:12Z","timestamp":1653956712000},"page":"2535","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Application of Convolutional Neural Networks on Digital Terrain Models for Analyzing Spatial Relations in Archaeology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5501-9129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
