Sammanfattning

This paper aims to take a look at the migration waves theory of Marija Gimbutas from the perspective
of latest research in archaeology, but also including insights offered by aDNA studies. In her famous
model, Maria Gimbutas stated that three waves of migration from the steppes into Southeastern Europe
took place in three different periods: the second half of the 5th millennium BC, the last centuries of the
4th millennium BC and the first centuries of the 3rd millennium BC. In order to asses if her model finds
support in the archaeological record I will provide an overview of the discoveries in the steppe-like
regions of Southeastern Europe during the time corresponding to the supposed waves of migration. For
each phase I will also advance other possible interpretations that could account for this archaeological
record, involving different types of mobility/migration or cultural transmission processes.
