Strip, map and record is an excavation methodology, not evaluation, normally only employed on large projects and has been entirely standard for years - just a case of stripping the site, seeing what there is and then agreeing what/how much to actually dig. Not actually a lot different from 'the old way', just more faffing about, interference and site meetings to waste time and money and pad out consultant/curator expenses
