Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2, deliberately below tier 1: Gimbutas was a working archaeologist and this survey volume is grounded in real fieldwork, but her wider interpretive framework, especially the Old Europe goddess-civilization thesis she developed in later books, is widely regarded by specialists as overreaching its evidence, and her Slavic and Baltic religion volumes are read today for their archaeological and philological data rather than trusted uncritically for interpretation. This atlas cites her for attested facts and names contested readings as contested rather than repeating them as settled. Citation
