Abstract

In Part I, we have outlined the evaluative system and preparation of preliminary archaeological documentation (henceforth: PAD), as well as the methodological possibilities of site-detection and analysis. In this part, we are going to address the difficulties due to professional, legal and other limitations, as well as failures resulting from these limitations or from other (subjective) factors. Nonetheless, we are on the opinion that the provision of preventive archaeology met the expectations set by legal regulations: heritage services prior to large-scale investments became plannable. Additionally, the results of excavations subsequent to the preparation of archaeological assessments significantly increased our knowledge on the potential archaeological sites, instigating several debates and considerations concerning methodological and theoretical aspects of archaeological prospection and site detection.
