This book addresses several key questions related to archaeological
research on migration and to the processes that follow human
translocations. A holistic and contextual approach to the studies
of migration in the past is proposed and tested on a case study of
early medieval Slavic migration to the island of Bornholm
(Denmark). The analyses form the basis for a discussion on the
possible effects of resettlement on the creation of immigrant
identity, immigrants' perception of themselves, and their
positioning between the homelands that they have recently lost and
the new landscapes that they found themselves in. The study
considers how to approach early historical migrations in
archaeology to account for the complexity of the subject. It
touches upon questions related to the nature of routines, habits
and everyday interactions with material things in human life and
the way they might have been affected by translocation. It also
explores the process of "translation" of a foreign landscape into a
homeland. The study should interest students and scholars in the
fields of archaeology, medieval history and migration studies.
