The date of the arrival of Indo-European languages in Europe has not been established with any degree of certainty, and different scholars vary by some thousands of years in their estimates. According to Baldi and Page (2006), 4500 BC seems to be the earliest limit for the Indo-Europeanisation of Europe espoused by any historical linguist; and many other writers suppose that Indo-European-speaking migrants can first be associated with the archaeological Corded Ware culture which is not attested before around 3000 BC – and then only as far west as southern Poland (Mallory 1989). Baldi and Page (2006: 2194) further state that the ‘traditional view of the settlement of the Celts places them in the British Isles no earlier than about 2000 BC’.
