“…More studies are exploring the impact of trade and interconnectivity to population structures in the Middle Levantine region (Elias, 2016; Haber et al, 2020; Maaranen et al, 2022; Mardini et al, 2023; Nassar, 2019). The Middle Bronze Age led to an increase and intensification within and between regions in the eastern Mediterranean, but responses were varying; some sites have provided evidence of an influx of migrants (Stantis et al, 2020; Stantis, Kharobi, Maaranen, Macpherson, Bietak, Prell, & Schutkowski, 2021), accompanied by the presence of diverse material culture (Bader, 2012), while in others, the expansion of the MBA trade network has not correlated with newcomers (Stantis, Maaranen, Kharobi, Nowell, Macpherson, Doumet‐Serhal, & Schutkowski, 2021; Stantis, Maaranen, Kharobi, Nowell, Macpherson, Schutkowski, & Bourke, 2021). Due to its continuous occupation and growing importance throughout the Bronze and Iron Age, Sidon provides key insights to the wider development of the region.…”

ObjectivesThe Levantine Middle Bronze Age (MBA, circa 2000–1500 BCE) marks a period of increased trade and regional interaction, spurred on by technological developments. In light of previous research exhibiting limited mobility in Sidon, further investigation was conducted using biodistance analysis to understand local population history and site development.Materials and MethodsDental nonmetric traits, a proxy for genetic information, were explored using ASUDAS on a sub‐sample of primary inhumations (n = 35). The biodistance matrix was generated using Gower distance measures, and further tested using PERMDISP, PERMANOVA, Mantel test and hierarchical cluster analysis. The data was also contrasted to 87Sr/86Sr and δ18O as well as δ13C and δ15N values.ResultsThere were no significant diachronic differences in isotopes values, and there was biological continuity (n = 35, Mantel test r = 0.11, p = 0.02, comparing local phases and biodistance). The analysis also suggested of a sub‐group of individuals with biological proximity shared a more limited range of mobility and dietary habits.ConclusionsThe isotopes (87Sr/86Sr, δ18O, δ13C, δ15N) and biodistance analysis conducted on the Sidon College site skeletal assemblage exhibits stability and continuity of the people, despite the site's increasing role in the maritime network. This continuity may have been a key factor in Sidon's success, allowing it to accumulate wealth and resources for centuries to come.

“…The section "debating migrations" (organised by Walter Pohl and Ruth Wodak) investigates early modern conceptions of migration and nomadism. From an archaeological perspective, for example, burial customs in ancient Egypt contribute to a better understanding of migration processes in prehistoric times (see Bader 2012). The section on "ego documents" (organised by Annemarie Steidl and Edith Saurer) presents ways in which "ego documents entered migration history".…”

The success of pottery provenance studies is fundamentally dependent upon spatially patterned variation in the composition of exploited clay resources. Uniformity in clay composition within a region and recognizable differences between regions of interest are essential requirements for determining provenance, but these parameters are difficult to satisfy in study areas such as the coastal plain of the southeastern USA in which chemical and mineralogical variation tend toward continuous gradients. In an attempt to improve the reliability and validity of pottery provenance studies in the area, this research investigates compositional variation in raw clay samples from across Florida and southern Georgia through NAA (n=130) and petrographic analysis (n=99). The results indicate that fourteen distinct compositional regions can be differentiated, ranging from 50 km to 400 km in length. These regions dictate the direction and minimum distance a pottery vessel must have been transported in order to be recognized as nonlocal through compositional analysis. The validity of the proposed compositional regions is supported by previous case studies focused on assemblages from three of the regions. In each case, vessels were transported from other compositional regions more than 100 km away.
