Dr Anthony - Indo-Europeans and horses

Salvete omnes,
finally I got his book - The Secrets of Silk Road -edited by dr Victor Mair with articles by various scholars, including dr David Anthony, whose book on the horse domestication and Indo-Europeans I also have. In May 2012 I provided some links to the video lectures made available by Penn Museum, from their symposium on the Silk Road. The links in my 2012 post are still good and all lectures are still available.

So I did a little sweep of youtube for interesting lectures and in therms of the Bronze Age and horse domestication some of the lectures and discussion involving dr David Anthony (who represents the research done by his wife Dorcas Brown and he).
from 2012 - Roots of Europe - Language, Culture, and Migrations, University of Copenhagen, 12-14 December 2012:
Early Indo-European migrations, economies, and phylogenies
Wheeled vehicles, horses, and Indo-European origins
and the discussion - Tracing the Indo-Europeans: Origin and migration.

also, Dr Anthony's page on academia- great stuff like this article on the warbands and ritualised canine consumption.enjoy

Discovery in Russia

Salve,
 a definitely very interesting and perhaps more than groundbreaking discovery in Russia's Kuban region at the foothills of the Caucassus Mountains -  early Bronze Age (4,000 years ago, perhaps assiociated with the Maykop Culture) horses burried with their tack,  The horses, 20 discovered thus far, were laid there at the deapth of mere 1 metre for all these 4 millenia. They have not found any remains of the riders, unfortunately.

You can easily translate this with google translate or bing translator etc.

another interesting arricle - ancient European Wild Horse appearance and genetics findings

 enjoy

the attached photo of the horse skeleton and bronze tack comes from the article and it is just for information purposes, taken by Natalia Fedorenko.
