Prace Archeologiczne, 2010
The majority of the contributions to the volume were presented as papers at the session ‘Migrations in Bronze and Early Iron Age Europe’ during the 14th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists in La Valetta, Malta, in September 2008. It is worthwhile mentioning that all the participants of the session have delivered their contributions for publication. Additionally, a few further articles have been included (C. Metzner-Nebelsick, B. Stepańczak and K. Szostek) to make the volume more comprehensive. Introductory paper (K. Dzięgielewski, M.S. Przybyła, A. Gawlik) serves the same purpose.
International Workshop 'Migration and Mobility in the Neolithic' in Hamburg
Workshop 17th/18th of February in Hamburg In recent years, aDNA has opened completely new perspectives for prehistoric archaeology: suddenly, it is possible to directly address the hitherto rather intractable question of migration. Initial applications to Neolithic skeletons have already revealed that multiple migration events took place, some of them potentially on a large scale. The Neolithic has been a particular focus of aDNA research, which has been combined with archaeological and increasingly also with linguistic evidence to provide (not so?) new and sometimes controversial narratives. Therefore, the need for interdisciplinary dialogue has never been higher. While there has been much productive collaboration already, there are also very different research traditions, expectations and approaches. So how can we best combine 'headlines' in Nature or Science with the details of particular archaeological and linguistic studies? And how can we actually distinguish between different migration scenarios? These are just some of the issues this workshop aims to address. We hope that this will provide an opportunity for archaeologists, archaeogeneticists and linguists, as well as an interested audience, to find space for fruitful discussion. A preliminary programme and registration information is included.
Migration and Movement in European History Migration and Movement in European History Veranstalter
2015
The European University Institute conference „Migration and Movement in European History“ was the third in a series of Graduate Conferences in European History (GRACEH), sponsored by the European University Institute, Florence (EUI), The Berlin School for Comparative European History (Berliner Kolleg für Vergleichende Geschichte Europas, BKVGE), and the Central European University, Budapest (CEU). It brought together 16 professors, 8 PhD holders and 24 postgraduate students from academic institutions in 12 countries. The conference aimed to highlight the problems of historical methodology which refuses to include reflection upon mobility in the past. Given this conceptual agenda, papers were not limited to specific periods or geographical areas. Instead, the conference provided a forum for 36 papers dealing with diverse topics, yet sharing a common concern with the many diverse ways mobility has impacted upon historical change. To improve the quality of discussion, papers were pre-c...
Distant Worlds Journal, 2017
The Distant Worlds Journal (DWJ) is an online peer-reviewed journal established especially for presenting the research of early-career scholars on the ancient world. Each edition of the DWJ centres on a specific question or topic pertinent to the diverse disciplines engaged in the study of ancient cultures. In our third edition, we investigate a phenomenon that has shaped today’s society as well as the ancient world: migration and mobility. Particular attention will be paid to what we know about its causes and consequences: Why does migration happen, what are its effects and how do we as scholars deal with migration and mobility of past peoples?

Theoretical approaches to early medieval migration
1997
This thesis is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the effect upon culture of the movements of people. It is concerned in particular with comparing the ways in which the migrations of the early medieval period in England the `Anglo-Saxon Settlements', the `Viking Settlement' and the `Norman Conquest'have been studied by antiquarians, historians, archaeologists and philologists. The topic is addressed in two ways: by a theoretical discussion of the history and development of thought on early medieval migrations in general, and by detailed case-studies of the ways in which each migration has been approached in a single English region: the county of Yorkshire. The introduction considers the ways in which population movement has been studied by other academic discourses, and demonstrates that consideration of the subject by early medievalists is complicated by the varying, and sometimes conflicting, theoretical standpoints on migration of the three disciplines involved i...
