Christmas Lecture: Fifty shades of mobility and behavioural modernity: the ties that bind

Date: 07.12.2012

Speaker: Dr. William Davies, CAHO, Southampton

Dr. William Davies

I shall explore the potential effects of individual and group mobility on the transmission of ideas.  How are innovations transmitted in these situations, and what implication does this mobility have for the manifestation of traits of “behavioural modernity” (art, personal ornament, music, etc.) that Palaeolithic archaeologists like to emphasise?  Social networks will be explored not only as interactions between contemporary groups and individuals, but also as existing and transforming over time.
