Overview

This analysis demonstrates how migration shaped collective identities in Europe, suggesting a new approach to ethnicity.

Key Points

  • Ethnicity plays a crucial role in understanding migration processes in historical contexts, enhancing our knowledge of collective identities.
  • Using Rogers Brubaker’s view, the concept of ethnicity can be reframed to emphasize its dynamic nature and relevance to archaeology.
  • The study examines the Migration Period alongside the Linearbandkeramik and Corded Ware phenomena, illustrating transformations through migration.
  • By reassessing ethnicity, this research opens pathways for a deeper understanding of social identities in prehistoric Europe.
