The Oldest Examples of Population Deportations

Emil Heršak ; Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The paper presents some key examples of population deportation in antiquity. It is an overview, which in fact constitutes part of a more extensive study of the author on various migration phenomena in the past, aimed in the final instance at establishing the most pertinent socio-anthropological characteristics of the migration process. From the examples of deportation presented, one can conclude that population deportation is an archaic pattern, which already in antiquity, despite many specific aspects (e.g. slave deportations, settlements of “barbarian” tribes), acquired some of the essential traits which still appear in the contemporary world.
