ABSTRACT
In this last chapter, the arguments that have been built through the book are brought together, offering a prospect on where the archaeology of movement is going and where it can go. In the first part of the chapter the book is summarized as a sort of journey, though not necessarily in a linear sequence chapter after chapter. The rest of the chapter is then used to explore five connecting strands that make archaeology stand out from the concerns of the ‘mobility turn’. These intersections are also gerundives: converging, assembling, flowing, gathering, and returning. Through these five strands that mobilize both archaeology’s objects and its modes of production, the past material practices of movement – of mobilities – are transformed and are transformative, in which the objects, the sites, the landscapes that are studied suddenly appear so much more dynamic.
