Different techniques, different views

Establishing a survey area and which  techniques will be used are just the first steps  of each  archaeological interpretation process, in which  our perception is never objective ( Thomas, 1996;  Hamilakis et alii, 2002; Ouzman, 2001) . The English Heritage (2009:4) suggests  we  should use integrated techniques to enhance   different levels of  information and perspectives . 

The comparison of different results also enables  different point of views. For these reasons   during my work experiences and academic research, I usually take in account various  stages of analysis.
