In our new preprint we propose that the likely route connecting Anatolian speakers with the Yamnaya (and thus with the speakers of Indo-European languages) is from the east. This thread summarizes different arguments for this hypothesis, as well as the alternative (from the west)

So it begins... @univienna @oeaw @ya_OeAW @fwf eurasiantransformations.univie.ac.at cetom.univie.ac.at

My new text book "Linguistic Archaeology" will soon be out! The book deals with methods of reconstructing language in prehistory, from the comparative method to typology and phylogenetics. routledge.com/Linguistic-Arc…

Now that the Arbeitstagung der Indogermanischen Gesellschaft is over, a quick résumé. It was a brilliant, fantastic conference. The title was „The Secondary Homelands of the Indo-European Languages“, & some speakers talked kind of traditionally about individual IE branches. /1

Do you have an interest in Lycian onomastics, rulership, numismatics, and Indo-European phraseology? :) I just uploaded 'Once again on the etymology of the Lycian personal name Trbbe͂nime/i-' to @academia: academia.edu/74795555/Once_…

Cool new study reminding us why the Vikings named the Faroe Islands as they did: Old Norse fár = 'sheep' + eyjar 'islands'. "[S]heep likely outnumbered humans and were more important contributors of feces to the landscape." nature.com/articles/s4324…

Denisova Cave is an amazing place to visit let alone work and discover its ancient inhabitants. Their names and faces we’ll never know but their proteomes & genomes will be sequenced and teach us about ourselves. Free access to our latest paper here rdcu.be/cB2U4
