Abstract
- The article presents information about paper "Greater Anatolia and the Indo-Hittite Language Family: Papers Presented at a Colloquium Hosted by the University of Richmond, March 18-19, 2000," edited by Robert Drews. These exemplarily edited conference proceedings are thought-provoking and richly informative. Writer Cohn Renfrew reaffirms and updates his own 1973 theory that Proto-Indo-European accompanied the diffusion of farming into Europe, splitting from PIH in Anatolia. Scholar Peter Kuniholm observes that, according to dendrochronological evidence, Anatolia's high settlement density over time is compatible with Renfrew's theory.
