... if you like reading that's a little more technical:

ARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN by Fox, Conner, et al.

It's a forensic analysis of the digs done at the site in 1984-85.

Ballistic analysis of the bullets and cartridge cases uncovers not only the numbers and types of firearms, but helps track the movement of different weapons over the battlefield.

Forensic analysis of human remains found clears up a lot of the mysteries of how the soldiers died, the contadicting number of tombstones vs. number of soldiers killed, and results in the positive identification of at least one of Custer's people.
