Since the theories of D. Anthony and others re: the role of wheeled
transport for the dating of PIE have been mentioned, I may be allowed to
draw attention to a forthcoming publication directed precisely at these
issues.
I'm unable to summarize its contents at the moment (since I'm nothing less
than an archaeologist) but this text, as I have been given to understand,
questions the claims of Anthony (and others) in a profound way:
 
Peter Raulwing: Horses, Chariots and Indo-Europeans. Foundations and
Methods of Chariotry Research from the Viewpoint of Comparative
Indo-European Linguistics, Budapest: Archaeolingua 1998, ca. 160 pp. with
34 illus.
 
Archaeolingua's address: H-1250 Budapest, Uri utca 49
 
Maybe some people interested in the subject will wish not to miss this book.
