The primary purpose of this volume is to serve as a "how to" manual for individuals interested in replicating or expanding the data collected by the Studies. Two introductory sections discuss the development of the methodology and the organization of the methodology description. The three subsequent chapters, which constitute the body of the document, are devoted to a presentation of the methodogy. The first of these chapters describes the procedures involved in generating data from the sites selected for study. The second chapter describes data reduction activities, while the third chapter describes the procedures involved in the preparation of a profile description of the site visited. An epilogue following the three methodology chapters discusses briefly the nature of the methodology as a technological contribution. Related documents are EA 004 582-588. (Author)
