Prehistoric World Systems in the Age of the Genetic Revolution: The Eurasian Evidence

Summary

This is an abstract from the "World-Systems and Globalization in Archaeology: Assessing Models of Intersocietal Connections 50 Years since Wallerstein’s “The Modern World-System”" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The third science revolution has reintroduced migration and mobility as major drivers of change throughout later prehistory in western Eurasia. However, it has also allowed us to revisit and redefine different types of migrations and their role in the transformation of prehistoric world systems in a broad sense. Here, I exemplify this by contrasting three types of migration from the arrival of farming to the end of the Bronze Age.
