So, Frannie, you know that Anthony has not revised his opinion in the
intervening years on the basis of his continued research?

Mallory and Adams on the one hand and the comment
on Anthony's book you forwarded on the other hand
are telling the same, so I can see that Anthony worked
a long time on the same subject and followed the same
ideas and tried to safely moore his assumptions via
field work, archaeological and linguistic field work.

Show me where I said that archeology has NOTHING TO DO WITH
linguistics?

You said it the other way round, Peterli, linguistics
has nothing to do with archaeology, some two years
ago, as I recall. You said my work has nothing to do
with reality, whereupon I replied that I base my
linguistic reconstructions on archaeology, on cave
art, Göbekli Tepe, and so on. Then you told me
that linguistics has nothing to do with archaeology.
I said, funny, but the many volumes on Indo-European
on the shelves of my library are full of archaeology.
Find that exchange yourself, in the archive of Google,
I don't have the time.

No, Franzl, show us where archeology has told us anything about the
language spoken by the community uncovered. (Other, of course, than by
finding inscriptions.)
