Environment, Archaeology and Landscape
Environment, Archaeology and Landscape is a collection of papers dedicated to Martin Bell on his retirement as Professor of Archaeological Science at the University of Reading. Three themes outline how wetland and inland environments can be related and investigated using multi-method approaches. 'People and the Sea: Coastal and Intertidal Archaeology' explores the challenges faced by humans in these zones – particularly relevant to the current gl…
Internal Migration in the Countries of Asia
Multi-method solutions to the problem of dating early trackways and associated colluvial sequences
Pathways to past ways
Past trackways and the mobility associated with them have long been a neglected topic of research in Britain-a lack of attention attributable to the publication of Alfred Watkins'sThe old straight trackin 1925. Yet, new interdisciplinary approaches, including from the perspectives of social theory and the sciences, can allow us to move forward. Here the authors offer the first steps towards a positive approach to understanding past mobility
Internal migration in the countries of Asia
Internal migration, the movement of people between localities and regions within a country, has resulted in a significant redistribution of national populations. Past cross-national studies have been impeded by a lack of data and comparable metrics upon which to base comparisons. This paper examines internal migration in 30 Asian countries utilising a global dataset and a novel suite of measures devised in the IMAGE project. Three aspects of inte…
Migration in China
Internal migration trends in China are well documented, but existing studies rely almost exclusively on period measures applied to cross‐sectional data. To examine long‐term trends, this paper adopts a cohort perspective and analyses migration levels and patterns and reasons for moving for cohorts born between 1935 and 1974. It applies a series of newly developed cohort measures to nationally representative migration histories retrospectively col…
Millet, Wheat, and Society in North China over the Very Long Term
This paper outlines a very longue durée history of three of North China's most important cereal crops: broomcorn millet, foxtail millet, and wheat. It illustrates their place within broader social-environmental formations, highlighting the various biological and cultural factors that enabled the spread of these crops, as well as the ways in which these crops and the patterns in which they are grown influenced North China's economic and social his…
Impact of Internal Migration on Population Redistribution in Europe
The classical foundations of migration research date from the 1880s with Ravenstein’s “Laws of migration”, which represent the first comparative analyses of internal migration. While his observations remain largely valid, the ensuing century has seen considerable progress in data collection practices and methods of analysis, which in turn has permitted theoretical advances in understanding the role of migration in population redistribution. Coupl…

Educational selectivity of internal migrants
It is well established that migrants are a selected group with respect to a number of characteristics, including education. However, the extent to which the degree of educational selectivity varies between countries remains unclear
Age, Period, and Cohort Effects on Migration of the Baby Boomers in Australia
The distinctive migration behaviour of the baby boom generation is commonly attributed to cohort size effects, but evidence to date has been drawn primarily from the US context. This paper focuses on inter-cohort differences in the intensity and pattern of internal migration in Australia with particular attention to the Australian baby boomer generation as it has moved through the life course. A series of generalised linear models are fitted to m…
Collecting and Analysing Data on Climate‐related Local Mobility
It is widely recognised that environmental events may trigger permanent and seasonal migration but less attention has been given to the way they shape the everyday mobility that shapes household livelihood strategies. This dearth of attention can be traced to a lack of statistical data, the difficulties of collecting information on local space‐time trajectories and the absence of sound statistical measures by which to express them. We review prio…
The Impact of Internal Migration on Population Redistribution
We know that internal migration shapes human settlement patterns, but few attempts have been made to measure systematically the extent of population redistribution or make comparisons between countries. Robust comparisons are hampered by limited data access, different space‐time frameworks, and inadequate summary statistics. We use new analysis software (IMAGE Studio) to assess the effects of differences in the number and configuration of geograp…
Neolithic and Bronze Age ungulate footprint-tracks of the Severn Estuary
Ungulate footprint-tracks provide information regarding the species and age of animals. Combined with other datasets, this contributes to interpretation of seasonal husbandry patterns in the Severn Estuary, focusing on Bronze Age intertidal footprint-tracks at Redwick and Goldcliff East and the Late Neolithic site of Oldbury. Metric dimensions and morphology of modern contemporary ungulate footprint-tracks are used as analogues to help understand…
Internal migration age patterns and the transition to adulthood
Internal migration around the world
This paper examines how internal migration distance and its frictional effect vary between countries. Such comparisons are hampered by differences in the number and configuration of spatial units for which data are available − the modifiable area unit problem (MAUP). We use the flexible aggregation routines embedded in the IMAGE Studio, a bespoke software platform which incorporates a spatial interaction model, to elucidate these scale and patter…

Applications of micromorphology to understanding activity areas and site formation processes in experimental hut floors
Internal Migration and Development
Migration is the principal demographic process shaping patterns of human settlement, and it serves an essential role in human development. While progress has been made in measuring international migration, internal migration statistics are as yet poorly developed in many countries. This article draws on a repository of data established under the IMAGE (Internal Migration Around the GlobE) project to address this deficit by constructing the first …

Smoothing internal migration age profiles for comparative research
Age patterns are a key dimension to compare migration between countries and over time. Comparative metrics can be reliably computed only if data capture the underlying age distribution of migration. Model schedules, the prevailing smoothing method, fit a c

Internal Migration Data Around the World
Compared with other demographic processes, little attention has been given to the way levels and patterns of internal migration vary around the world. This can be traced in part to the absence of any central repository of internal migration data, but it also reflects widespread variation in the ways migration is measured. If robust, reliable comparisons between countries are to be made, a clear understanding of the available data is an essential …
Comparing temporary mobility with permanent migration
In contrast with developing countries, where the study of circulation occupies a central position, the literature on temporary mobility in the developed world is sparse and unsystematic. This paper examines reasons for this fragmentation and endeavours to situate tourism within the wider context of temporary and permanent population movements. It is suggested that temporary moves have three distinctive dimensions - duration, frequency and seasona…

Life-Course Transitions and the Age Profile of Internal Migration
Despite underlying regularities in the age profile of migration, there is mounting evidence of cross-national variations in the ages at which migration occurs. Explanations for these differences have variously been sought by reference to cultural, social, and economic factors, and through analysis of reasons for moving. There is also a growing body of work linking migration events to particular transitions in the life course. We set out a concept…

Return and Onwards Migration in Canada and Australia
Analysis of return and onwards migration flows has typically relied upon lifetime migration definitions. Both Canada and Australia have collected data on usual place of residence both one and five years prior to the census, which provide a richer source of information on return and onwards moves. Utilizing data drawn from complementary sources, this article examines the incidence, composition and spatial patterning of return and onwards migration…
Improved measures for the cross-national comparison of age profiles of internal migration
We develop and demonstrate the application of a concise set of measures intended to encapsulate key features of the age profile of internal migration and highlight the significant differences that exist between nations in these profiles. Model schedules have been the most common method of comparing internal migration patterns but issues related to the estimation and interpretation of their parameters hinder their use for cross-national comparison…
Problems and solutions in the measurement of migration intensities
The differences in internal mobility between national populations are large and complex in origin. In studying them we must use comparable indicators. This paper discusses how meaures of migration intensity at the national level should be constructed, drawing on analyses of regional mobility in Australia and Britain. We argue for the tailoring of intensity measures to observation plan and to age-time plan, and for removing the effects of mortalit…

Working in Partnership in Child Protection
This article critically examines the work of twenty-two local authority social workers undertaking child protection investigations. The findings suggest that, while the social workers were committed to being (and believed their practice to be) participative, the dual tasks of making risk assessments for the conference and working in partnership with the families concerned produced conflicts of interests and rights. The impact of these on social w…

Prehistoric intertidal archaeology and environments in the Severn Estuary, Wales
Estuaries, the interface between riverine systems and coastal environments, have great archaeological potential for interdisciplinary research. Extensive survey of 25km of coast in the Severn Estuary, Wales, databased using Autocad and GIS, is combined with more detailed investigation of 3km at Goldcliff. This demonstrates that coastal wetlands can preserve a diverse range of site types which contrasts with both terrestrial dryland contexts and o…

Valley Sediments as Evidence of Prehistoric Land-use on the South Downs
Recent years have seen a shift of archaeological focus away from the confines of the individual site and towards broader issues of land-use and landscape history. Hence a need for archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence which tells us about the area utilized from sites rather than about the environment on the site itself. Valley sediments are one possible source of this evidence and this paper considers their potential with specific refer…

Population Mobility and Indigenous Peoples
This paper describes an emerging field of demographic enquiry focused on the population mobility of indigenous minorities in Australasia and North America. Political, scientific and policy rationales for research on the spatial dynamics of such groups are advanced as a prelude to a review of the Australian literature. This review is structured around four complementary perspectives on mobility: the propensity to move; spatial redistribution; flow…

Modelling long-term anthropogenic erosion of a loess cover
There is growing archaeological evidence that erosion induced by prehistoric agricultural activities has, in many parts of Europe, greatly thinned an original thick loess cover. The evidence for this is, however, almost entirely observational and qualitative. Whether in the time available, anthropogenic activity could have produced modern thin loessial soils has not been quantitatively evaluated. This study adopts a novel modelling approach in th…

Patterns of Temporary Mobility in Australia
While Census data are generally employed to examine permanent migration, they also provide a unique window on temporary population movements, a phenomenon largely neglected in Australia. Building on the work of Zelinsky, this paper outlines a conceptual framework for analysis of temporary mobility and reviews the strengths and limitations of the Census as a source of information. Data from the 1991 Australian Census are then used to analyse the i…

Creating a temporally consistent spatial framework for the analysis of inter- regional migration in Australia
Changes in zonal boundaries severely compromise the reliability of comparisons made from time series data. We examine problems and solutions to the development of a temporally consistent spatial structure in the context of the literature on zone design. Four main approaches to the development of compatible spatial systems are identified and their merits discussed. One of these, the ‘designer’ solution, is used to establish a consistent spatial st…
