No genetic evidence yet for hinnies at Mazongshan (400-160 BCE), northwestern China
In their recent study entitled “Ancient DNA reveals the co-existence of domestic horses, donkeys and their hybrids in the prehistorical northwestern China”, Li and colleagues (2026) report the genetic identification of three horses, three donkeys and four first-generation hinny hybrids dating to 400–160 BCE from the Mazongshan jade mining site in northwestern China. While a re-analysis of their ancient DNA sequence data confirms the horse and don…

High altitude horse use and early horse transport in eastern Eurasia
While few places on earth have been as deeply impacted by the human-horse relationship as the steppes of Mongolia and eastern Eurasia, gaps in the archaeological record have made it strikingly difficult to trace when and how the first domestic horses were integrated into ancient societies in this key region of the world. Recently, organic materials preserved in melting mountain ice have emerged as a key source of archaeological insight into the r…
The origins of saddles and riding technology in East Asia
Innovations in horse equipment during the early Middle Ages provided advantages to societies from the steppes, reshaping the social landscape of Eurasia. Comparatively little is known about the precise origin of these crucial advances, although the available evidence points to early adoption in East Asia. The authors present new archaeological discoveries from western and northern Mongolia, dating to the fourth and fifth centuries AD, including a…
