Interdisciplinary cooperation of archaeology and criminology is often focussed on the scientific methods applied in both fields of knowledge. In combination with the humanistic methods traditionally used in archaeology, the finding of facts can be enormously increased and the subsequent hermeneutic deduction of human behaviour in the past can take place on a more solid basis. Thus, interdisciplinary cooperation offers direct and indirect advantages. But it can also cause epistemological problems, if the weaknesses and limits of one method are to be corrected by applying methods used in other disciplines. This may result in the application of methods unsuitable for the problem to be investigated so that, in a way, the methodological and epistemological weaknesses of two disciplines potentiate each other. An example of this effect is the quantification of qualia. These epistemological reflections are compared with the interdisciplinary approach using the concrete case of the "Eulau Crime Scene".
考古学与犯罪学的跨学科合作通常聚焦于两个知识领域所应用的科学方法。结合考古学传统上使用的人文方法，事实的发现量可大幅增加，随后对过去人类行为的诠释性推断就能建立在更坚实的基础之上。因此，跨学科合作具有直接和间接的优势。但如果要用其他学科使用的方法来纠正一种方法的弱点和局限性，也可能引发认识论问题。这可能导致应用不适用于待研究问题的方法，从而在某种程度上使两个学科的方法论和认识论弱点相互强化。这种效应的一个例子是对感受质的量化。本文将这些认识论思考与以“欧劳犯罪现场”具体案例的跨学科方法进行比较。
