Abstract
When we look back at migration in temperate Eurasia in the last three thousand years, it becomes apparent that it shows two clearly defined patterns. The first one, from about the eighth century B.C. till around A.D. 1500, was characterized by a close interaction between areas of high civilization, the forest tribes, and the nomads. The second period, the time of European expansion and implosion, neatly falls between 1492 and 1992.
