Settlement History Along Pinal Creek in the Globe Highlands, Arizona, Volume 3: Material Culture and Special Analyses (2003)
Excavations at sites along the State Route 88-Wheatfields (SR 88-Wheatfields) section documented a 2,500-year cultural sequence (600 B.C.-A.D. 1950) that revealed use of the area in the Late Archaic, Early Formative, Late Formative, Classic, and Historic periods, the last involving Euroamerican and Apache occupations.

The Social Dynamics of Slavery in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake: Inferences from Tobacco Pipe Assemblages and Their Archaeological Contexts. (2021)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Digging Deep: Close Engagement with the Material World" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

We draw on data from multiple quarter sites, available on the DAACS website (daacs.org). We apply signaling theory to build a...

The dwindling overlap, over the last five centuries, between the group of people who produce goods and the group of people who consume them calls into question the assertion that...
