The Slovak Spectator reports that a 5,000-year-old skeleton has been unearthed in eastern Slovakia by researchers from the Slovak Academy of Sciences and the Polish Academy of Sciences. The skeleton belonged to a young man of the Indo-European Pit Grave culture who died between the ages of 16 and 18. The grave was found in the center of a burial mound with a 72-foot diameter, surrounded by a channel measuring more than 12 feet wide. The remains of a charred wooden structure that once covered the grave pit were also identified, said Eva Horváthová of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Analysis of the young man's bones is expected to provide information about his diet, health status, and genetic background, she concluded.

I’d guess that Beaker from Muppet Labs likes that name. :^)
That’s what killed him. Danged time travelers.

Always when I see these stories I wonder the same thing: “What did he have on Hillary?”
Heh... I *am* a little surprised that there hasn’t been any Helen Thomas jokes in one of these GGG topics in at least a month. :^)
Helen Thomas has been superceded by Harris.
With any luck.

So before the split between the Satem and Centum languages? Speakers of PIE?
Probably varies, the natural climate cycle in Central Asia caused the various pulses out followed by gradual population recovery as the climate warmed. Whoever was left around there at the end of the prior mass emigration tended to be the basis for the languages spoken by the eventual next emigration.
