Fragmented records not only require methodological but also statistical and conceptual solutions when trying to formulate narratives on past lifeways. The proposed workshop provides a forum to not only consider the merits of individual and multi-proxi approaches, but to discuss the challenges posed by the often fragmented records, and therefore incomplete and disparate (skeletal) datasets, that are used to address big questions about the past. This workshop is also in collaboration with Jacqui Mulville and Katie Faillace from Cardiff University. These are also some of the issues at the heart of the ERC-funded ‘The Fall of 1200 BC: The role of migration and conflict in social crises at end of the Bronze Age in South-eastern Europe’ (), which is hosting this workshop. For prehistory in particular, recurring questions researchers aim to answer with these complementary approaches concern mobility, kinship, crisis, diet and conflict. (Bio)Archaeological approaches to answering questions about past lifeways have diversified immensely in the last decade and are now ranging from increasingly specialised macroscopic/morphological analysis of skeletal features to a range of biomolecular methods.
