“Beginning with colonialism, we see immediately that this has a much larger timeframe than that of historical archaeology”
From The Archaeology of Capitalism in Colonial Contexts, an Introduction: Provincializing Historical Archaeology (2011) · cites this paper as Burbank and Cooper 2010
In the citing paper
“even within historical archaeology, the precise edges of where colonialism begins and ends - the pre- and post-colonial periods - are really not so clear (Burbank and Cooper 2010; Horning, this volume; Palus, this volume; Russell, this volume; Silliman 2005; Stein 2005a).”
From The Archaeology of Capitalism in Colonial Contexts, an Introduction: Provincializing Historical Archaeology (2011) · cites this paper as Burbank and Cooper 2010
In the citing paper
“Within this general field as scholars look to examine the differences in colonialism over time, they struggle to see clear chronological epochs in colonialism.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
