"• Heggarty, Paul & David Beresford-Jones, in prep.
Agriculture and Language Dispersals: Limitations, Refinements, and
an Andean Exception?
(to be submitted to Current Anthropology?)



A range of further articles are in preparation or planned, on the
following themes:

• trees vs. networks as appropriate representations for language
divergence;

• new methods and results which bear on the issue of the early
history of Indo-European as a tree or a dialect continuum;

• new methods and results which bear on the issue of the early
history of Germanic as a tree or a dialect continuum;

• problems with linguistic palaeontology as a supposed linguistic
dating technique;

• the concept of `splits' in language lineages and the calibration
of proposed methods for dating them. "
