Oh my. Bummer. Not all that familiar with his
Anatolian theory but come across his "Before
Civilisation: The Radiocarbon Revolution and
Prehistoric Europe" and his carbon dating work.

Once had occasion to meet and do some support
work for a former grad student of his who had
nothing but good to say about him.

I was insanely jealous he'd worked/for with a
proverbial Great Man.
