Nineteenth Century Gunflints from the Nepalese ArmoryInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 23 - Trang 628-650 - 2019
John C. Whittaker, Anais Levin
A sample from a stockpile of gunflints discarded by the Nepalese military in the early to middle 1800s shows that although Nepal obtained most of its munitions from Britain, the situation was complex.

Padlocks as Negotiated Freedoms within EnslavementInternational Journal of Historical Archaeology - Tập 27 - Trang 898-952 - 2023
James M. Davidson
The archaeological recovery of a padlock from an eighteenth- or nineteenth-acentury domestic site seems ordinary, offering mundane interpretations for a prosaic piece of material culture. However, a lock found in association with a slave cabin is more evocative, suggesting confinement, or alternatively, a negotiated social relationship, conditional privacy, and limited freedoms within enslavement....... hiện toàn bộ
