   Thank you. This would not have made the news sources I depend on.   
   LinguistList has occasional death notices, but they are normally of   
   linguists, which (PTD was always ready to remind us) Renfrew was not.   
      
   I used to try to follow these PIE arguments (particularly when I worked   
   among archaeologists), but I haven't recently. I had the impression   
   there was a swing back to Gimbutas at one time. Is there a majority view   
   these days?
