Human migration tends to involve more than the odd suitcase or two
- we often carry other organisms on our travels, some are
deliberately transported, others move by accident. This volume of
12 papers offers a zooarchaeological approach to questions
surrounding the nature and extent of human colonisation and
migration, and the adaptation of humans to new and sometimes
extreme or challenging environments. The volume is divided into two
parts: Part 1 takes up the theme of Human and Animal Migration and
Colonisation. Contributors consider the relationship between human
movements and the movements of animals and animal products; case
studies look at Neolithic population movements in Oceania, the
Norse colonisation of Greenland, and the European settlement of
Virginia. Part 2 focuses on the topic of Behavioural Variability in
the So-Called Marginal Areas. Contributors offer various
interpretations of the concept of 'marginality', from climatic
extremes of the Arctic cold, and the heat and aridity of western
North America, to the geographical remoteness of Patagonia, and the
cultural circumstances surrounding the beginnings of transhumant
pastoralism in prehistoric southeastern Europe.
