On: Hand of Irulegi: ancient artefact could help trace origins of Basque language

I may be wrong, but I understand it is not the only pre-PIE language in Europe.

I believe Finnish and Hungarian are two others, and there are a couple more, with much smaller numbers of speakers.

Finnish and Hungarian are non-IE, but they are not pre-IE, they are Uralic languages that also entered Europe through migration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralic_languages#History
