A colleague in Contemporary History, who is working on catastrophes after the sudden lack
of a resource (he's thinking mainly of oil), has asked me for examples of similar sudden
lacks/running out of essential resources that may have been studied by historical
archaeologists. I was hard pushed to think of anything much, although this would seem to
be the kind of thing that we should have thought about as a discipline -- does anyone have
suggestions of published studies on this general theme from the archaeology of the modern
period?
