Summary

This is an abstract from the "Wheels, Horses, Babies and Bathwaters: Celebrating the Impact of David W. Anthony on the Study of Prehistory" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The past 25 years has led to a completely new understanding of Eurasian Prehistory. Archaeometric analysis, landscape archaeology, and aDNA have allowed longstanding debates to be silenced, and fundamental principles underpinning key concepts such as social interaction, participation, migration, and more, have been lofted to new heights of enquiry in Eurasian Archaeology. This paper traces some of this progress in regards to the Bronze Age in light of primary data and new discoveries, and sets out new directions for the decades to come.
