Hi James

James Francis Connell III
> my interests in the origins of Celtic language. Two books recommended by
Barry
Cunliffe on the subject are Colin Renfrew's Archeology and Language and
J.P.Mallory's In Search of the
Indo-Europeans. Any opinions out there on either one of these titles?

Well, I'm afraid I know even less about linguistics than you. I would
imagine that Mallory might be a good place to start, as might Renfrew -
except that I did see somewhere that opinions were apparently somewhat
divided on his linguistic capablities. However, perhaps someone else on the
list might have some more informed opinion on the subject.

(Your post appeared in my digest to be have been truncated, BTW).

Best regards,

Jean Kelly
