Oxfam bookshop cheltenham in this book colin renfrew directs remarkable new light on the links between archaeology and language, looking specifically at the puzzling similarities that are apparent across the indo-european family of ancient languages, from anatolia and ancient persia, across europe and the indian subcontinent, to regions as remote as sinkiang in chinaprofessor renfrew initiates an original synthesis between modern historical linguistics and the new archaeology of cultural process, boldly proclaiming that it is time to reconsider questions of language origins and what they imply about ethnic affiliation--issues seriously discredited by the racial theorists of the s and s and, as a result, largely neglected sincechallenging many familiar beliefs, he comes to a new and persuasive conclusion: that primitive forms of the indo-european language were spoken across europe some thousands of years earlier than has previously been assumedsee oxfam website for delivery information read more
