Long Millennium Affluence, Architecture and Its Dark Matter Economy

This history of the 'long' first millennium CE, from the period of the Roman Empire to the beginning of the Colonial Age, takes a peripheral-centric approach, arguing that the rising chiefdoms of this period were key partners to urban-based civilizations.
