Question

präsentierte der Forscher 1987 ein Modell, das ganz

auf der Annahme einer friedlichen, durch wirtschafti

che Faktoren bedingten Sprach- und Kulturausbreitung

basiert. Nach Renfrew gab es ,in der europäischen

Vorgeschichte nur ein Ereignis, das weitreichend und in 60

den Folgen radikal genug war", um als Auslöser für die

Ausbreitung der indoeuropáischen Sprachen in Frage zu

kommen, nämlich ,die Einführung der Landwirtschaft".

Diese löste erstmals um 8000 v. Chr. im Nahen Osten

die zuvor überall auf der Welt praktizierte Nahrungsge-

winnung durch Jagen und Sammeln ab und breitete sich

in den folgenden 2500 Jahren über Anatolien, Griechen-

land und den Balkan bis nach Mitteleuropa aus um

5500 v. Chr. war die bäuerliche Kultur am Rhein ange

langt und im Laufe des 5. und 4. Jahrtausends fasste sie 70

65

auch in Nordeuropa Fuß.

Ist dies alles bereits seit langem wohlbekannt, so war

Renfrews Verknüpfung dieses weitråumigen,Neolithi-

sierungsprozesses" mit der indoeuropāischen Frage ein

75

neuer und faszinierender Gedanke.

Nach seiner Theorie wurde die früheste indoeuropäi-

sche Sprache um 7000 v. Chr. von Bauern in Anatolien

gesprochen, die sie 500 Jahre später zusammen mit

dem Ackerbau nach Griechenland und von dort aus

donauaufwärts nach Mitteleuropa trugen. Im Verlauf

dieser Ausbreitung bildeten sich nach Renfrew unter-

schiedliche regionale Dialekte heraus, aus denen später

die verschiedenen indoeuropäischen Sprachen und

Sprachgruppen hervorgingen. Nicht aggressive Reiter

krieger, sondern friedliche Bauern hätten also dieIndo- 85

europäisierung" Europas vollzogen, und dieser Vorgang

wäre nicht in Form einer abrupten Invasion, sonden

als allmählicher, fast unmerklicher Prozess erfolgt - der

Gegensatz zu Gimbutas' Unterwerfungsszenario könnte
