• Resumen

  • The archaeogenetic support for the Steppe Hypothesis of the Indo-European homeland lends incidental support to the earlier methods that had led to the same conclusion independent of genetic evidence. Perhaps the chief amongst these is that called 'linguistic palaeontology', which is based on inherited vocabulay shared amog related languajes. Confirmation of linguistic palaeontology's efficacy opens the way to using this method to locate other reconstructed languajes -such as Proto-Celtic and Proto-Germanic- in time, space, and the archaeological record. The study includes case studies of three words.
