Theoretical models used to interpret mobility data are adapted from anthropology, social history, and gender studies. Migration is seen as a complex and heterogeneous social process conditioned by various factors affecting the form and scale of movement. Here we differentiate between migration and mobility, where migration is seen as a specific process involving permanent or extended movement of people, while mobility is a continuous movement for social, cultural, or political reasons. The concept of translocality is quoted to describe high levels of multidirectional movements among social groups constantly engaged in communication networks involving mobility on various scales. These theoretical concepts are applied to the isotopic data from La Tène cemeteries to explore the Celtic expansion in the 4th and 2nd centuries BC north and south of the Alps. Overall, this paper highlights the importance of considering contexts, time scale, distance, frequency, or social groups involved when assessing the nature of past movements. It also emphasises the need for appropriate methods to archaeologically recognise migration as a specific process and the adoption of theoretical models that can help understand mobility patterns in the past.
