This document gathers information from many scientific publications and from the practical experience of the authors and their colleagues. Many “hints” provided here have been discovered through trial and error on projects not reported in scientific journals, for a number of international institutions. This information is offered to facilitate the implementation of the EH&A Protocols and to assist researchers who are operating in difficult field situations.
