Addition[edit]

"... a total of 34 skeletons, consisting of 16 children, 9 adult males, and 7 adult women ..." Something about this does not add up ... 141.243.9.139 (talk) 04:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Boneyard90 (talk) 15:08, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Opposing viewpoints[edit]

"An opposing theory accounting for the violence at Talheim is that Europe was peaceful at the time the victims were living." This sentence is hilariously absurd. Does anybody know what it is supposed to mean? I would fix it myself, but I have no idea what this section trying to say. Megalophias (talk) 14:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like OR; not supported by cites.

I think this section should be removed, as this is not what Keeley thinks, and there is far less evidence of violence in Germany in the 4th millennium BC than there is in the LBK period.European Prehistorian (talk) 12:24, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Kurgan culture map"[edit]

This inset seems irrelevant to this topic, but I have refrained from removing it in case somebody else sees the relevance.jax (talk) 12:20, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
