Bob:

The piecemeal approach is common in US archaeogeophysics when only one piece 
of equipment or technology is available

Like Lew, we advocate a Combined Survey Format (CSF) using a variety of 
archaegeophysical and archaeochemical techniques to provide complementary 
information.  Like Lew and John Weymoth, we say do the VLF metal detecting 
FIRST!, plot the non-discriminative and full-discriminative anomalies with 
alidade and\or EDM  and then plan your survey with the methods that will 
work for YOUR site conditions.
