| Migration theories were in vogue in
nineteenth and early twentieth century thought, which had witnessed the great migrations from Europe to America. Any new cultural innovation discovered in archeology was made the product of a new migration. A new pottery
style found in a culture was attributed to a new people coming into the area. However migration is
usually not the main factor in social change, which usually occurs owing
to internal factors. Otherwise we would have to explain the invasion
or migration of the computer people to explain current changes
in civilization! Now archaeologists are moving away from such
migration theories and looking more for the internal factors that could
cause such changes. If such internal factors can be found - such
as is the case in ancient India which shows an internal continuity of
cultural developments going back to the pre-historic era - a migration
is not necessary.
