Workshop Luciani

Mobility in the Arabian Peninsula

Organizer: Marta Luciani (University of Vienna)

Abstract

From the earliest human migrations through seasonal subsistence patterns and long-distance trade routes (Magee 2014), different types of mobility have characterized human occupation in the Arabian Peninsula throughout the ages.
The workshop explores the dual concepts of mobility and connectivity (Luciani 2016) linking the vast expanses of Arabia by discussing several distinctive study-cases and current fieldwork from the southeastern tip to the northeast and northwest of the Peninsula and spanning diachronically the multiple millennia from the Neolithic to the Islamic Period.
