Content: Migrations and population dynamics are considered very problematic topics in the fields of ancient studies. Recent scholarship in (pre)historical population has generated new impulses by using scientific approaches using radiogenic and stable isotopes, and palaeogenetics, as well as computer simulation. As a result, the state of migration research has undergone rapid change. Several research groups presented papers at a conference held in Berlin in 2010, addressing specific historical aspects of population dynamics and migration, with no chronological or geographical restrictions, in the light of cutting-edge bio-archaeological research. This volume, divided into three larger thematic sections (isotope analysis, population genetics, and modelling and computer simulation), presents experiences and insights about methodological approaches, research results and prospects for future research in this area in a varied collection of papers. Scholars from widely diverse scientific disciplines present their approaches, findings and interpretations to an audience far broader than the circles of the individual disciplines.

Content: Eine der Grundfragen der Kulturwissenschaften ist, ob und in welcher Dimension kultureller Wandel durch bevölkerungsbiologischen Wandel bedingt oder begleitet wird. Diese Frage ist anhand der verfügbaren Quellen der Archäologie nicht endgültig entscheidbar. Die physische Anthropologie verfügt über analytische Werkzeuge, die den Zugang zu dem einzigen Archiv ermöglichen, das Informationen über die biologische Zusammensetzung einer Bevölkerung enthält: den Menschen. Durch die Aufnahme von ancientDNA Analysen in die anthropologischen Arbeitsmethoden sind diachrone Vergleiche genetischer Bevölkerungsstrukturen und die Klärung der verwandtschaftlichen Beziehungen unter prähistorischen Populationen möglich. Die Einbettung dieser Arbeit in den wissenschaftlichen Rahmen des BMBF-Verbundprojektes: Nasca: Entwicklung und Adaptation archäometrischer Techniken zur Erforschung der Kulturgeschichte ermöglicht es darüber hinaus auf eine Vielzahl kultur- und naturwissenschaftlicher Daten zuzugreifen und die gewonnen Erkenntnisse so im transdisziplinären Dialog in Kulturgeschichte zu übersetzen. Die Palpa-Region an der Südküste Perus ist eine kulturell dynamische Siedlungskammer, in der in einem Zeitraum von ca. 6000 Jahren die Sesshaftwerdung menschlicher Gruppen bis hin zur Entwicklung und dem Untergang komplexer frühstaatlicher Gesellschaften zu beobachten ist. Ziel dieser Studie war es, durch die Untersuchung mitochondrialer genetischer Marker an menschlichen Skelettelementen die diachrone Entwicklung der matrilinearen Populationsdynamik im Untersuchungsgebiet zu rekonstruieren ...

Content: Traditions of sacrifice exist in almost every human culture and often embody a society’s most meaningful religious and symbolic acts. Ritual violence was particularly varied and enduring in the prehistoric South American Andes, where human lives, animals, and material objects were sacrificed in secular rites or as offerings to the divine. Spectacular discoveries of sacrificial sites containing the victims of violent rituals have drawn ever-increasing attention to ritual sacrifice within Andean archaeology. Responding to this interest, this volume provides the first regional overview of ritual killing on the pre-Hispanic north coast of Peru, where distinct forms and diverse trajectories of ritual violence developed during the final 1,800 years of prehistory. Presenting original research that blends empirical approaches, iconographic interpretations, and contextual analyses, the contributors address four linked themes—the historical development and regional variation of north coast sacrifice from the early first millennium AD to the European conquest; a continuum of ritual violence that spans people, animals, and objects; the broader ritual world of sacrifice, including rites both before and after violent offering; and the use of diverse scientific tools, archaeological information, and theoretical interpretations to study sacrifice. This research proposes a wide range of new questions that will shape the research agenda in the coming decades, while fostering a nuanced, scientific, and humanized approach to the archaeology of ritual violence that is applicable to archaeological contexts around the world.
