****GK: There is evidence of an eastward and southward
movement of Catacomb cultures elements, which reaches
areas where Indo-Aryan linguistic substrata of Iranian

possible hypotheses have been examined, what remains,
however unlikely, must be the solution".*****

dependent on "massive migrations".*****
