Indo-European Dispersals and the Eurasian Steppe with J.P. Mallory

[AntiochusMegas]

Always loved Jim Mallory's lectures, his dry wit and wide ranging examples really added flavour to his presentations. Anytime I watch a great mind like his present a lecture I suddenly realise just how little I know about archaeology and how much I still have to learn.

Very entertaining on his academic feud with Renfrew.

@loojinrome well when you decide to basically ignore the strongest evidence available, then you're kinda asking for at least one academic feud.

The more proper name of the culture is "Cucuteni", not "Trypolie", and I find it disappointing that Mallory only uses the latter term, especially because the models he presents refer particularly to this western aspect of the "Cucuteni-Trypolie" civilization.
