Personally I would not trust an architectural historian to interpret the above ground bits they get hung up on style and miss the obvious and many have no idea how to do a measured survey (Apologies to any architectural historians reading this). Buildings Archaeology is a valid discipline that uses elements of other disciplines. Understanding the order in which things happend is not reliant on the architectrural style which can some times (surprisingly often) be a red herring.
