Is Mehergar a Product of Migrations From Further West?
We don't have to find some slow, steady advance of farmers moving one valley at a time across the Iranian Plateau toward Mehergar. That's not really how migrations work. Sometimes farmers do take short hops and set up a new village. But these short jumps go hand in hand with much longer distance migrations that can cover hundreds or even thousands of miles. So if we stop looking for a chain of farming migrations and instead think in terms of possible longer distance leaps, it's not nearly as hard to see Mehergar as at least partially the product of migrations from further west.
