Goedhart's approach to unearthing artifacts is very scientific. He first collects legends and anecdotes, then traces them to likely real-world locations where he looks for material evidence, e.g. a tile structure poking up out of an earthen mound, a shattered household item, or even genetic traces in the faces of locals.
胡浩德讓遺跡出土的辦法非常科學；他往往先蒐集軼事傳說，然後跟著傳說到可能的現場尋找殘留的跡證，有時候是一個土堆中露頭的磚瓦構造，有時候是一塊殘缺的器皿，有時候也可能只是居民臉孔上的遺傳學線索。
