Description
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.
