Popis: This chapter presents the methodology adopted in this book. It describes the two datasets that were used including the types of artifacts that were selected, the context from which they came, and how this differed between the two sites. It then outlines the methods employed for artifact processing and cataloguing using the EAMC database with an emphasis on why certain fields, such as minimum number of vessel (MNV) counts and function, were recorded. Previous cataloguing work (where available) is also described. In addition, the documentary research undertaken, including types of sources used (both primary and secondary), are outlined, as are the limitations of this study, and how these were managed.
