- Virginia City: Secrets of a Western Past by Ronald M. JamesPublication Date: 2012Spent cartridges. The pieces of an original Tabasco Pepper Sauce bottle. Shards of a ceramic pot, stained red.

- On the Edge of Purgatory: An Archaeology of Place in Hispanic Colorado by Bonnie J. ClarkPublication Date: 2012Providing new insights into the construction of ethnic identity in the American West over hundreds of years, this study complicates and enriches our understanding of the role of Hispanic populations in the West.
