Bibliography: Space Archaeology

I update this bibliography as new material is published, but it is not exhaustive. Please let me know what I'm missing. This is about space archaeology only - of course there is a wealth of related material in space history, anthropology, ethics and social science too. (Ok some conservation has snuck in here, but that's because it's material culture).

Where possible, I use links to publicly accessible versions of the publication, but some might require institutional library access or registration with ResearchGate, Academia.edu or other repository.
