The Moment

This article addresses a few archaeological finds from the earliest stage of the Great Migration Period (late fourth to the first half of the fifth century AD) in the territory of the Western Roman Empire related to Central Europe by origin, which could testify to the migration of the Vandals and the Suebi to the Roman West in 406 AD. These finds comprise different types of crossbow brooches discovered in the Roman provinces in Gallia, Spain, and North Africa, which parallels originate from the lands to the north of the Danube, in the zone where the Vandals and the Suebi lived by the moment of the migration to the West in 406 AD. Besides, some features of the funeral rite discovered in the early Great Migration Period in Eastern Gallia, particularly ritually destroyed weapons, meet with analogies in the cemeteries of Central European barbarians, particularly in the Przeworsk culture. These archaeological pieces of evidence were partially related to the arrival of the Vandals and the Suebi to the Roman Empire’s territory in 406 AD, and also reflected the presence of the Central European barbarians in the Roman military service.

Black Voters

AbstractThe Great Migration fundamentally reshaped Northern electorates. Millions of Black voters, who had been unable to vote in the South, became eligible to vote through their resettlement in the North. In many instances, parties and politicians believed that Black voters were the balance of power in elections. This belief led them to change their approaches and make specific appeals to Black voters in an effort to win their support. Although scholars of American politics have revised the dominant narrative about the development of the Democratic Party on issues related to race, they fail to account for the role of Black voters in contributing to the Party’s change. The goal of this work is to describe how the Great Migration influenced Democratic Party interactions with Black voters in presidential elections from 1948–1960. I argue that increasing competition between the Democratic and Republican Parties, coupled with Black migrants’ location in electorally important states, made Black voters an important target of presidential campaign strategy in the post-war era.

The Impact

The Great Migration—the massive migration of African Americans out of the rural South to largely urban locations in the North, Midwest, and West—was a landmark event in US history. Our paper shows that this migration increased mortality of African Americans born in the early twentieth century South. This inference comes from an analysis that uses proximity of birthplace to railroad lines as an instrument for migration. (JEL I12, J15, N31, N32, N91, N92, R23)

The article presents the results of a study of iron arrowheads discovered during excavations of objects of the Xianbei time of the Karban-I funerary complex. This site is located on the left bank of the Katun river, 1.7 km north-west of the Kuyus village, in the Chemal region of the Altai Republic. During the excavation of the Great Migration period burials, a collection of 14 iron arrowheads was discovered at this necropolis. As a result of the classification of these items, one group, one category, one section, two departments, five types of products with several options are distinguished. The analysis of the available materials allows us to assert that the three-bladed tiered arrowheads of types 1a, 2a belong to the Xiongnu military tradition and date back to the 2nd — 5th centuries AD. A specimen with equalsized layers of type 3a can be an early «transitional» to the South Siberian tradition. Iron arrowheads with a geometric feather of asymmetric-rhombic (type 4a) and rhombic (type 5 a) forms without support existed during the Xianbei-Rouran period (2nd — 5th centuries AD).

Local Traditions

The article is devoted to a series of local discoveries relevant to a Т-shaped spring fibulae (after A.K. Ambroz). By the present moment there have been found fourteen samples so far, all of which come from the territory of Kaluga, Moscow and Tula Regions. All those items are connected with sites of the Moschino culture, located in the Upper Oka Basin. They date back to the beginning of Migration Period (the end of the 4th century – the 5th century). This work presents a typology of the items discovered, as well as a catalogue of them. The author touches upon the questions of the origin and chronological order of fibulae of the Kartavtsevo–Serensk type. By the beginning of Migration Period the inhabitants sites of the Moschino culture had worked out their own tradition of producing fibulae (the Upper Oka fibulae with a “knob”) and actively used ones imported from the territory of the Chernyakhov culture. According to the author, a new type of fibulae appears within the framework of the existing tradition under the influence of the eastern (the territory oh the Middle Oka) and western cultural impulses.

Значение осетинского языка для языкознания определяется сложностью его исторической судьбы. Его архаический характер и ранняя дивергенция от остальных иранских языков вызывает к нему интерес со стороны иранистов, а конвергентные процессы с другими индоевропейскими языками привлекают исследовательское внимание русских и европейских ученых. Прото-осетинский язык можно рассматривать как транслятор иранского влияния в европейский ареал в период Великого переселения народов (в IV-VII вв.), т.к. из всех племен, теснивших порядок Римской империи, ираноязычными среди основных действующих лиц были именно европейские иранцы сарматы и аланы, предки современных осетин. Общеиранская лексика была предметом рассмотрения многих исследователей, но всё же имеется целый ряд вопросов, которые нуждаются в уточнении, развитии, целый ряд этимологий осетинских слов нуждается в обосновании или в ревизии. Некоторые лексемы, которые традиционно относились к кавказскому слою лексики, должны быть проанализированы более подробно. В работе внимание уделяется степени сохранности иранского лексического фонда в осетинском языке. Рассматриваются разные сценарии процессов развития общеиранской лексики, которые снабжены языковыми примерами. Возможности выдвижения альтернативных уже существующим этимологиям иллюстрируются на примере рефлексов общеиранского корня hwar- (xwar-) есть. Некоторые лексемы могли быть сохранены обоими языками, но претерпели семантические и фонетические изменения, не позволяющие их опознать, они могли окаменеть в сложных словах, во фразеологических оборотах. Кроме того, общие корни могли быть утеряны, и восстанавливаются только по родственным словам в других иранских языках. The significance of the Ossetian language for linguistics is determined by the complexity of its historical fate. Its archaic character and early divergence from other Iranian languages arouses the interest of Iranian scholars, and convergent processes with other Indo-European languages attract the attention of Russian and European scientists. The Proto-Ossetian language can be considered as a transmitter of Iranian influence into the European area during the Great Migration of Peoples (in the IVth VIIth centuries). Of all the tribes that shattered the order of the Roman Empire in late antiquity, the only Iranian-speaking were the Sarmatians and Alans, ancestors of the modern Ossetians. Common Iranian vocabulary has been the analyzed by many researchers, but still there is a number of issues that need clarification, development, a number of etymologies can be subjected to revision. A number of words that have traditionally referred to the Caucasian stratum should be analyzed in greater detail. The work focuses on the degree of preservation of the Iranian lexical fund in the Ossetian language. Different scenarios of the processes of development of common Iranian vocabulary, which are illustrated with examples, are considered. The possibilities of advancing alternatives to already existing etymologies are illustrated by the example of reflexes of the common Iranian root hwar- (xwar-) eat. Some lexemes could have been preserved in both languages, but due to semantic and phonetic changes they are no longer identifiable, they could have been fossilized in compound words, in phraseological units. In addition, common roots could be lost, and can be restored only via related words in other Iranian languages.
