Description

An overview of the current debate on the origin and spread of horse-drawn chariots with a brief review of the archaeological, archaezoological, religious, anthropological and technological evidence and a more detailed survey of linguistics. Raulwing outlines the different types of linguistic evidence, with many examples, and a general history of developments and innovations in chariot design and use. He argues that chariots originated in the Near East in the early 2nd millennium BC and that there was no horse' or wheeled transport' in Proto-Indo-European language.
