In this lecture, Renfrew discussed the Indo-European populations based on recent DNA analysis of human remains found in ancient burial sites. In addition, Renfrew backed up the established theory of Minoan and Mycenaean origins, relevant to Kurgan invasion and Anatolian migration. However, he failed to point out the possibility of the use of technological advances in science to further explore theories of origin of cultures with no written language records including, for example, the Cycladic culture. The goal of this paper is to discuss some of latest discoveries relevant to the Aegean Neolithic and Bronze Age periods and the infinite or/and limited possibilities of reshaping our understanding of the past.https://www.athensjournals.gr/history/2019-5-2-4-Basic.pdf
