If you look at architecture you do though, expensive materials receded more towards seats of per regionally, projects abandoned so on and so forth.
Not necessarily the style but how they're actually built, materials and such. Solid wall v. with junk infill, things where it starts with a more expensive or materially intensive techniques into ones where it's cheaper.
Also pottery is a pretty good indicator of how people are living at the time and a lot ends up inside or below construction as it is built.
