Dear Jacqui,

If it is domestic pigs you are interested in, see the following for evidence
of pig transhumance and other mobility patterns:

Albarella U, Manconi F & Trentacoste A. *2011*. A week on the plateau: pig
husbandry, mobility and resource exploitation in central Sardinia. In U.
Albarella  & A. Trentacoste A. (eds.). *Ethnozooarchaeology. The present and
past of human-animal relationships*, 143-59*.* Oxford: Oxbow Books.

Less specifically focused on mobility but also possibly relevant:

Halstead, P. & Isaakidou, V. *2011*. A pig fed by hand is worth two in the
bush: Ethnoarchaeology of pig husbandry in Greece and its archaeological
implications. In U. Albarella  & A. Trentacoste A. (eds.).
*Ethnozooarchaeology.
The present and past of human-animal relationships*, 160-74*.* Oxford: Oxbow
Books.

Albarella U., Manconi F., Vigne J.-D. & Rowley-Conwy P. *2007.* The
ethnoarchaeology of traditional pig husbandry in Sardinia and Corsica. In
U.Albarella, K.Dobney, A.Ervynck & P.Rowley-Conwy (eds). *Pigs and Humans:
10,000 years of interaction*, pp.285-307*.* Oxford: Oxford University Press.


Molenat, M. and Casabianca, F. (1979) *Contribution à la maîtrise de
l’elevage porcinextensif en Corse. *Bulletin Technique du Departement de
Genetique Animale 32. Jouy-en-Josas, Institut National de la Recherche
Agronomique.
I can provide pdfs if required (but not Molenat & Casabianca)

Cheers,
U
