This theory uses the burial of boar's mandibles and perforated wood's teeth to posit the existence of a "Globular Amphora" culture.
This theory uses the burial of boar's mandibles and perforated wood's teeth to posit the existence of a "Globular Amphora" culture. This theory is supported by the remains of horses at Devreika, since its formulator argues that the horses must have been domesticated. The formulator of this theory uses the Aesir-Vanir War, the Law Code of Gortyna, and the Spartan social structure as evidence of a pacifist, matrifocal society that was eventually displaced from a group to the east. This theory was developed in the books The Gods and Goddesses of Old Europe and The Language of the Goddess, both of which examined namesake archaeological mounds for evidence that the culture which built them spread their language across Europe. For 10 points, name this hypothesis proposed by Marija Gimbutas which holds that the Pontic steppe was the homeland of the Proto-Indo-European language.
