 * Hi Yak. Sadly, my Dictionary of Archaeology didn't go into more detail. I Googled to try and corroborate the phasing and found this (para 3) which seemed to back it up, so I went with it. To be honest I only wrote the article as a result of fleshing out celt (tool) so I certainly wouldn't object to any emendations you want to make. adamsan 17:46, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Marija Gimbutas - Matriarchy insert
It seems that there is no fair treatment of the issue of the Gynocentric Old Europe theory espoused by Gimbutas. While she did contribute much to the subject of Proto-Indo-Europeans and has been partly vindicated, to my limited knowledge, on the Kurgan hypothesis, there is no evidence of Matriarchal societies in pre-historic Europe. At best Neolithic Europe was less Patriarchal than Proto-Indo-Europeans. This appears to me to be serving only those who wish to put the hoe/plough in place of the Battle-Axe.

One can be a feminist and treat history objectively without looking through the feminist lens, at least at first. When you do the former, you are limiting your intellectual horizons and your actual understanding of ancient cultures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.107.154 (talk) 03:11, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
