Comparing contact-period archaeologies

Despite many similarities in methodology and interconnections in research history no overall comparison between the spread of farming to southern African (the Bantu expansion) and temperate continental Europe (the Bandkeramik expansion) has yet been attempted. This article reviews the current state of research in both regions and discusses possible avenues for future mutual scholarly debates
