This book uniquely combines linguistic, archaeological, and sociological perspectives to explore the intricate dynamics of power, gender, and mobility in Indo-European societies.

Power, Gender, and Mobility examines how the social constructs of power and gender in Indo-European societies interacted with each other and cross-community mobility. It approaches this examination from linguistic, archaeological, sociological, and genetic angles through thirteen articles written by experts in prehistoric archaeology, Indo-European linguistics, and historical sociology. The articles explore topics such as female naming schemes, natural and grammatical gender, the role of stars and constellations, gender-based distribution of high-status grave goods, and the matrimonial and sexual functions of gods and offer a fresh interpretation of Indo-European legal language.
