But there is also a downside. Due to this very transparent approach, this work is rather heavy on the theoretical-methodological side, especially in the beginning, in the linguistic chapters. And as the book progresses, the archaeological details also pile up: the reader can expect an avalanche of successive archaeological cultures, with regular overlaps and repetitions. This is certainly not a book for the layman, and moreover, I found myself reading very diagonally over time. On top of that, especially towards the end, Anthony very often starts to use the words/terms “suggests”, “could have”, “possibly”, “it is possible that”, “probably”, etc. It is excellent that these types of works are written, because they provide an avalanche of data and hypotheses that can be a source for further research and elucidation. It's a beautiful illustration of how science works. A little more in my History account on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6435371723… (altro)
