Apologies for cross postings.

I'm recently starting my honours thesis, and I'm looking for examples of
cases where recovered artefacts from a site or area can be directly linked
to trading patterns. My thesis lies along the question of whether the
evolution and constant change of trading patterns can be represented in the
remaining material culture, and indeed can be traced from origin to final
destination, and if changes in economic circumstances in these trading
patterns can correspond with the economic climate at that time. Although my
area is currently limited to the Murray Darling river trade in Australia,
I'm looking for any relevant global case studies that might assist in my
conclusions. Any assistance in tracking down such case studies would be
emmensely helpful.
