What Records Truly Explain Europe’s Early Migration Waves?

What historical sources actually discuss large-scale ancient migrations into Europe, and how reliable are they today? In Arlo’s Soul Talk # 4: Life So Far, the idea of long journeys and displaced tribes is mentioned, but what do historians and archaeologists use to verify such movements? Are there solid records, or mostly fragmented accounts and later interpretations? And how do researchers distinguish between mythic storytelling and documented migration patterns? Interested to hear what others have found.
