Maria Gimbutas (1923-1994) is an internationally renowned archaeologist and ethnographer, professor at the University of California, head of the Department of European Archeology, curator of the Arechology Department of the Museum of the History of Human Culture, a member of the American Academy of Sciences.
Maria Gimbutas, based on archaeological, historical and linguistic materials, obtained in the course of many years of research and summarized in the book, paints a magnificent panorama of the early development of the Slavs. This allows us to reconstruct the material culture, religious views and way of life of the ancient Slavs, to establish as accurate a chronology of the most important phases of the development of groups of peoples united by the commonality of a single language group.
As we see from the text and illustrations (maps) of the book, Gimbutas adhered to the concept that the Slavonic ancestral home was located on the territory of Ukraine (see map on page 131), and it is in Ukraine that the original anthropological Slavic type is still preserved (map on p. ).
