Summary
It does not often happen that linguistic and archaeological sources allow the creation of a coherent narrative: they are usually separated from each other in time and space and do not meet the necessary prerequisites for a comparative analysis. The archaeological facts must form a clear pattern and demonstrate the existence of a cultural stereotype; the linguistic attribution of the population to which the analyzed archaeological sites belong must be uncontroversial; and, finally, the linguistic sources must provide sufficient information about that cultural stereotype.
