   Oh my. Bummer. Not all that familiar with his   
   Anatolian theory but come across his "Before   
   Civilisation: The Radiocarbon Revolution and   
   Prehistoric Europe" and his carbon dating work.   
      
   Once had occasion to meet and do some support   
   work for a former grad student of his who had   
   nothing but good to say about him.   
      
   I was insanely jealous he'd worked/for with a   
   proverbial Great Man.
