For what it's worth, on just 'archive' functionality, which is based 
upon post date, CCK & Event aren't necessary. Those were only suggested 
because it seemed like you meant something more, and to add arbitrary 
dates.

For more normal use, Views does some pretty good archive stuff all on 
its own. Dunno if that's still overkill or not, but that was a big 
reason why Views was written in the first place, and a core ideal in its 
functionality was to do everything archive module *should* do. Well, 
except it still doesn't provide a mini calendar block, but that's 
actually fairly easily to implement at this point, it just hasn't been done.
