The overall methodological approach that was adopted for performing analysis at the areas of interest on the object/monument, for handling and managing experimental data and for presenting the analytical information, facilitates interdisciplinary cooperation and thus increases the efficiency of field investigations.
The purpose of this review is not to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each individual article, but rather, to give a general picture of the literature and discuss overall methodological issues which might potentially influence results, such as costing methods, cost items, discount rate, etc.
