At the beginning of the history of Greco-Roman antiquity there is a migration movement that was accompanied by groundbreaking developments such as the emergence of the polis, the rediscovery of writing or the development of art and seafaring. For the first time, this book offers a migration-theoretical perspective on the so-called Great Colonization of the Greeks. With the inclusion of practical and resource-theoretical approaches, that great movement of the Greek Archaic appears as a complex interplay of residence and mobility structures and the people acting in them.
