Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture or EIEC, edited by J. P. Mallory and Douglas Q. Adams, was published in 1997 by Fitzroy Dearborn. Mallory did the archaeological articles, while Adams did the linguistic ones. A distinguished Who's Who of 1990s Indo-Europeanists made contributions as sub-editors.

Some linguists may view it as a one-stop compendium^{[citation needed]} of all matters Indo-European which for the most part brings together articles published previously in learned journals, while it is not very reliable on archaeological details.

While not a polemic, the work in part responds to Lord Renfrew's Anatolian hypothesis of Indo-European origins.
