All publications EVER: An exhaustive list of all published archaeological applications of network science is openly available in this Zotero library. The list was initially compiled by Matt Peeples and myself and is kept up to date as a community effort. Feel free to add missing items to the bibliography.
Also have a look at the network science bibliography on the Historical Network Research website, which covers many topics and is kept up to date by a growing community.
For an exhaustive bibliography of agent-based modelling in Archaeology, see this dedicated open bibliography by Iza Romanowska, Lennart Linde and the community who keeps it up to date.
