Abstract
In this work an archaeological predictive model is developed based on the probabilistic theory of Dempster-Shafer. The model arises from a very important topic in Western Mexico: copper mining during the 16th century. The aim of this work is to present how this tool, informed by various disciplines such as ethnohistory, geography, archaeology, etc., transcends the archaeological task. This presents us with another view of how practices are changing with the use of new tools of analysis, that is, what is innovative becomes everyday and thus indispensable.
