Traditional analogue field methods are increasingly becoming a limiting factor in the workflow of computerized research projects. At the same time, the potential of mobile GIS and other mobile computing methods to support better and more efficient scientific data collection is widely acknowledged. There seems, however, to be little scientific proof for the added value and successful continuation of these methods beyond the pilot stage. In particular, the diversity and unique mobility characteristics of fieldwork pose specific difficulties for the design, implementation, and support of these methods. This paper offers a simple ex ante/ex post evaluation framework to help researchers in estimating the added value of a mobile computing method. The application of this framework is exemplified with an archaeological case study and demonstrates that its use can result in a more comprehensive view of the potential and actual benefits of applying specific mobile computing methods in scientific fieldwork.
