The volume of archaeological publications dedicated to the concept of collapse, or to particular events labeled «collapses» is enormous. Readers who want to explore this issue further might start with the following publications that have been among the most informative for me:
Ronald K. Faulseit, ed., Beyond Collapse: Archaeological Perspectives on Resilience, Revitalization, and Transformation in Complex Societies (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2016); Patricia A. McAnany and Norman Yoffee, eds., Questioning Collapse: Human Resilience, Ecological Vulnerability, and the Aftermath of Empire (Carbondale: Cambridge University Press, 2010); Glenn M. Schwartz, and John J. Nichols, eds., After Collapse: The Regeneration of Complex Societies (Tuscon: University of Arizona Press, 2006); and Joseph A. Tainter, The Collapse of Complex Societies (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1988).
