On the Scottish theme, you can usefully export this to Australia with
Don Watson's Caledonia Australis [available in a mid-1990s paperback],
which looks at Scottish society in the context of the highland
clearances and subsequent Highlander involvement in colonial history in
southeastern Australia, especially their role as now largely willing /
non-resistant partners in Imperial expansion and their own domination
and control of Aboriginal society.  Much bitter irony abounds.  Watson
wrote a lot of Paul Keating's good speeches and the recently released
Keating biography, so they may even reissue Caledonia Australis on the
strength of that .   Not archaeological but I think you need to
understand what was happening in people's brains and hearts to make
sense of this domination and resistance stuff.

Judy Birmingham explicitly used a domination / resistance model to
explain what was happening in the Tasmanian Aboriginal settlement at
Wybalenna, published as an ASHA monograph.  When the material was dug in
the early 1970s she was interested in an acculturation model [resistance
hadn't been invented yet] and its instructive to read her evolving
explanatory framework in various interim reports through the ages.

Also cool stuff done on convict tattoos as visible symbols of
resistance [see brilliant Gojak article in current Australasian
Historical Archaeology for refs] and Irish pipes in the equally
brilliant Gojak and Stuart article on clay pipes in an earlier issue.

Hi Histarchs
         I am looking for some references to or survey articles about
domination and resistance in historical archaeology. l generally think
of
these topics in terms of slaves in various parts of the world and in
relation to my own topic of institutions, and l was wondering about
other
possible areas of resistance to some kind of imposed authority.
                             cheers
