Examining alternative constructions of power and mobility in the Early Nordic Bronze Age: A case study of a local elite female from Denmark

The recent and ever-increasing amount of studies investigating human mobility for single individuals in the European Bronze Age (Bergerbrant et al. 2017; Blank et al. 2018; Cavazzutti et al. 2019a, 2019b; Felding et al. 2020; De Angelis et al. 2021; Frei 2012; Frei et al. 2015a, 2015b, 2017, 2019, 2020; Frei & Frei 2011, 2013; Frei & Price 2012; Hoogewerff et al. 2019; Knipper 2004; Ladegaard-Pedersen et al. 2020, 2021; Nielsen et al. 2020a, 2020b; Price et al. 2011; Reiter 2015; Reiter et al. 2019; Reiter & Frei 2015; Scheeres et al. 2014; Snoeck et al. 2015; Taylor et al. 2020; Turck et al. 2012) presents us with an unprecedented opportunity to study mobility theories. By examining these new body of data as a whole, patterns may emerge. There is a scholarly movement which is beginning to go beyond producing evidence for movement/non-movement to starting to assess social strategies which may have caused mobility/non-mobility (Reiter & Frei 2019)
