Summary:

"This open-access volume uses archaeological case studies mainly from the European Neolithic, but also from the Pacific, the US Southwest, the medieval Migration Period and the historical Great Lakes, to discuss how a focus on small-scale inter-personal relations can help us understand migration events in archaeology. While most scholarship focuses on migrations that took place (using isotopes and aDNA), this book offers a new approach by exploring ideas about why they happened. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Centre of Advanced Studies in Oslo"-- Provided by publisher.
