Model I : Invasionist (Kossinna)
• Theoretician : Gustav Kossinna - 1911
• Homeland : Northern Germany • Date : 4000 BCE• Expansion Mode : Military
Conquest → Horse + Bronze Weapons + Wheel– Indigeneous Population
(AltEuropäische) = peasants + matriarcal (Mother Goddess)
– Proto-Indo-Europeans : Nomadic Warriors + patriarcal

• Theoretician : Marija Gimbutas• Homeland : Ukraine 1960• Date : 3000 BCE• Expansion Mode : Military

Objections
Which proofs does the Invasionist Model requires ?• An archaeologic culture stretching from the homeland to
western Europe and India. No.• Items attesting the use of horses in combat. No.• Archeologic attestation of significant battles. No.• A good reason to move from the homeland : why should
they bother to go anywhere else ? No. « The need for conquest ».
• A highly hierarchized society allowing the constitution of a warrior caste. No.

What do we actually have ?
• A common lexical stock BUT
– Very few words are common to ALL the IE languages (around 10)
– Some words may have been borrowed from neighbouring languages (ex; the numbers) : inheritance vs. borrowing.
• Common grammatical features (verb and noun flexion, affixation) : very little chance of borrowing

Model II: Neolithic Dispersal Theory (Colin Renfrew)
• An archaeologic culture stretching from the homeland to western Europe and India : the spread of farming from the Fertile Crescent to North-Western Europe (-7000/-3000 BCE)
• Items attesting the use of horses in combat. No combat
• Archeologic attestation of significant battles. No battles
• A good reason to move from the homeland : the demographic rise occasioned by agriculture.
• A highly hierarchized society allowing the constitution of a warrior caste. No hierarchized society needed.

Summary
• I- Invasionist : 3000 BCE in Ukraine, military conquest of Europe and Asia (Kossinna – Gimbutas)
• II- Neolithic Dispersal Theory: 6000 BCE in the Near East, pacific spread of farmers (Renfrew)
• III- Palaeolithic Continuity Theory : 20 000 BCE in Europe, without migration.
