Description: Rethinking Migrations in Late Prehistoric Eurasia by Courtney Nimura, Philipp W. Stockhammer, Rachel Cartwright, Manuel Fernández-Götz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Rethinking Migrations in Late Prehistoric Eurasia rethinks the role of migrations in late prehistoric Eurasia, integrating cutting-edge scientific analyses with theoretical perspectives that highlight the complexity of past population movements. Publisher Description Migrations constitute one of the most defining features of human history from the very beginning to the present. In recent years, the increasing application of ancient DNA and isotope studies has been revolutionising our understanding of past population movements, although the interpretation of the results is often still controversial. Rethinking Migrations in Late Prehistoric Eurasia provides an insight into cutting-edge research on late prehistoricmigrations in Eurasia, integrating different strands of evidence and emphasising the need for combining bioarchaeological analyses with a solid theoretical and methodological background. The 15 chapters within thebook range from the 3rd to the 1st millennia BC, with a geographical scope extending from Atlantic Europe to Central Asia. Case studies include a reassessment of large-scale migrations, but also high-resolution studies from micro-regions. Overall, the results offered in the volume reveal the extraordinary diversity of migrations in ancient Eurasia and the ways in which archaeology can contribute to wider discussions on past and present mobility.
