The Horse in Material Culture in Moravia (Czech Republic) in the Urnfield and Hallstatt Periods

Original language description

The horse, a majestic and noble animal. During prehistoric times and especially during the Bronze and Iron Ages, a unique relationship between man and horse was formed. From a hunted, consumable animal, to a luxury &quot;item&quot; of the highest social classes, to a companion in battles and duels, and even a friend. The issue of horses and the sources associated with them has long been neglected in the Late and Final Bronze Ages and Hallstatt Period (1300-450 BC) research in Moravia (Czech Republic), although it offers considerable potential for research into typological and chronological issues, and subsequently also socio-economic, religious, communication and many other topics. Comprehensive research on the horse not only aids in understanding its specific role in prehistoric societies but also provides insights into prehistoric society as a whole. The association of horses with the elites of these periods is crucial - magnates and chiefs manifested their power through the possession of horse, which was a luxurious article. The paper explores various categories of materials from the studied periods, including wagons, chariots, yokes, horse harnesses, riding equipment, depictions, and remains. The contribution focuses particularly on the relevance to chronology, long-distance travel and social disperse of the horse.
