There seem to be quite a few possibilities--
Somewhere around Lithuania (no longer fashionable, I think)
Somewhere in the Central Asian steppe
Somewhere on the north shore of the Black Sea, or (now underwater) of the
Black Lake (only if PIE was pre-5500 BCE)
Somewhere in Anatolia
Somewhere in the Danube valley
Or (the latest controversy on Cybalist) Somewhere in India.
Nostraticists would have it easy-- they could aim almost anywhere in the Old
World/Africa and be assured of finding _something_.
