Abstract
This chapter analyzes the methodological approach to the study of archaeological heritage in its architectonic consistency. More specifically, two case studies are here presented to mark how their peculiarities lead the scholar to follow different processes in order to achieve a high level of awareness. More than this, the chapter tries to comprehend to what extent common tools and strategies can be applied to dissimilar case studies in archaeological field. Recent technologies in this field have given to scholars and cultural heritage experts a new tool to preserve what still exists and to virtually reconstruct what has been destroyed.

A Survey on the Adoption and Usage of Broadband Internet
A survey is a way of going from observations to theory validation. The common objective for using this approach is to determine the relationship between constructs as a way of making sense of behavior surrounding and involving IS. In positivist research, surveys are particularly useful in determining the actual values of variables under study, and the strengths of relationships among them (Newsted et al., 1996).
