James Patrick Mallory

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Patrick Mallory (* 1945 ) is an American archaeologist and Indo-Europeanist . He is a professor emeritus at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland .

Mallory studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles until 1967 and served three years as a military policeman in the US Army. In 1975 he received his PhD in Indo-European Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1998 he became professor of prehistoric archeology . In 1996 he was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy .

Mallory dealt mainly with the early Neolithic and the European Bronze Age , with the original home of the Indo-Europeans and early Irish archeology. He works across disciplines and draws on archaeological as well as literary and linguistic findings. Mallory has clearly spoken out against the theses of Colin Renfrew , who suspects the original home of the Indo-Europeans in Anatolia . Methodically, he defended paleolinguistics , which works with language and vocabulary comparisons, and accused Renfrew of rejecting it because it refutes his Anatolia hypothesis . Mallory is editor of the Journal of Indo-European Studies .
