The article says 55,000 “human Skeletal remains”, it does NOT say bodies. How many bones and teeth does each human have—more than 200, especially if some of the teeth have fallen out of the skull. So perhaps only around 300 bodies over more than 1000 years. Men certainly traveled a lot more than women, and probably took their maturing sons with them. Sometimes it was to fight other tribes, but often to go hunting for food, including large dangerous game. Then there was trade traveling. Remember the ice man body found in the Alps a few years ago. Why was he killed? Was he a trader, did he steal the valuable copper tool he carried, or were greedy tribesman trying to steal it from him? The age of his body was within the same time period the current article is describing.
