5.0 out of 5 stars possibly the greatest archaeologist of the 20th century, 10 Feb 2008
By Brian Griffith (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
Gimbutas's lifetime of archaeological research comes together in this panoramic view of Old European civilization. And her work helps blow the frontiers of known history back by about 3,000 years, exposing cultures far older than Sumer or ancient Egypt. Her patient calibrations of dentochronology with radio-carbon dating of artifacts shows large villages and towns from the 6,000s BCE forward, dotted across Eastern Europe. And her compilation of cultural clues shows cultures which challenge all previous notions of how civilizations evolved. The basic equality in size of houses and graves, the emphasis on feminine images in art, the lack of defensive walls or caches of weapons, suggest civilizations focused on the arts of nurturing families, plants and animals. Perhaps the survival of the fittest here meant the flourishing of those best able to care for each other. In discoveries and open-minded interpretation of remains, Gimbutas could stand as the greatest archaeologist of the 20th century.
