你好老师，下面这句:

During this transfer,traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study. 

1.  designed to interpret the new forms of evidence 是做定语吗？是否可以替换成“定语从句”—— that have been designed… 

2. in the historical study作状语成分，是修饰designed to ...吗？ 翻译为：在历史研究中，旨在解释新史料的方法。 

在有定语成分或者定语从句的整个句子中，搞不清状语成分修饰的是 定语／定语从句，还是主句——比如翻译时可以提到最前面。
