Sure , why not, in the context, historical fiction
has the advantage of providing some insight of the unknown
human factor in use of items found in pre-history.
Whatever.

Well do you have any internet links of the subject,
that does not require a subscription. Indo-Eupropean is
what physical land areas discussed.

Start with any of the links referring to Indo-European. Lehmann is a well-
respected scholar in the field, even by those who do not agree with him.
Most of what you will find on the Web having to do with Indo-European
linguistics is crap. That includes the Wikipedia pages, too.
Mostly, go to a university library and start reading.
