You suggested earlier bias and conscious omissions in a book connected
with Colin Renfrew. But I could easily make the same suggestion about
what you've written here. Are you aware of what and how much from
Tripolye has been found at Dereika/"Sredy Stog" and the relative
dating of those materials? I suggest that you have a look at e.g. the
Zwelbil article I cited for you, just to assure yourself that you
aren't again citing out-of-date information. I'm sure you wouldn't
want to be accused of wilfully biased omissions.
