摘要

Oracle bone inscriptions, the earliest mature writing system in ancient China, require reliable artefact authentication for archaeological scholarship and museum curation. Traditional expert-based methods are subjective and difficult to reproduce at scale. We propose OracleNet, a few-shot multi-scale deep learning framework integrating ResNet-18, a Feature Pyramid Network, a Convolutional Block Attention Module, data augmentation, Focal Loss and Temperature Scaling calibration. Fivefold artefact-level cross-validation on 272 images yields a mean accuracy of 91.50% ± 4.20% and an ROC–AUC of 99.12% ± 0.80%. A positivity-constrained Temperature Scaling step reduces Expected Calibration Error from 0.269 to 0.054 (79.8% reduction) and Brier score by 52.6%. A symmetric calibrated comparison establishes post-hoc Temperature Scaling as a generalisable calibration tool under few-shot conditions. Sensitivity reaches 98.53%. The backbone-only variant outperforms the full model in raw accuracy on single-fold evaluation (McNemar p = 0.041), confirming that calibrated confidence is the primary contribution.
