520    This book brings together recent developments in modern 
       migration theory, a wide range of sources, new and old 
       tools revisited (from GIS to epigraphic studies, from 
       stable isotope analysis to the study of literary sources) 
       and case studies from the ancient Eastern Mediterranean 
       which illustrate how new theories and techniques are 
       helping to give a better understanding of migratory flows 
       and diaspora communities in the ancient Near East. A 
       geographical gap has emerged in studies of historical 
       migration as recent works have focused on migration and 
       mobility in the western part of the Roman Empire and thus 
       fail to bring a significant contribution to the study of 
       diaspora communities in the Eastern Mediterranean. 
       Bridging this gap represents a major scholarly desideratum
       and, by drawing upon the experiences of previously 
       neglected migrant and diaspora communities in the eastern 
       Mediterranean from the Hellenistic period to the early 
       medieval world, this collection of essays approaches 
       migration studies with new perspectives and methodologies,
       shedding light not only on the study of migrants in the 
       ancient world, but also on broader issues concerning the 
       rationale for mobility and the creation and features of 
       diaspora identities
