Developments in Equid Harnessing and Draught in the Roman Empire and Han China
The interconnectedness of the ancient European, Eurasian and Chinese worlds is not doubted, but just what was exchanged and how the transmission of ideas took place is a question very much under investigation. This paper examines peculiarities of equid harnessing and draught across this vast area as a case in point to consider such issues as diffusion and independent invention, especially in relation to the emergence of single draught vehicles
Developments in Harnessing and Draught in the Roman World
Material remains of harness elements from different parts of the Roman Empire have contributed to a new interpretation of the harness depicted on funerary reliefs of the second‐third centuries AD from north‐western Europe and on other figured documents, such as Trajan's Column in Rome (dedicated in 113 AD). As recent experimental reconstruction has shown, the curved wooden plaques, held firmly in place by a metal bow, may have formed a precedent …

Selected Writings on Chariots and other Early Vehicles, Riding and Harness
This collection of papers is primarily concerned with transport by wheeled vehicle in antiquity. They shed much light on the construction of the vehicles, the ways their draught animals were harnessed and controlled, and the uses to which the equipages were put. The evidence discussed includes actual remains of vehicles and bridles, as well as figured and textual documents. Ridden animals and their gear also feature in this collection of papers. …
The origin and diffusion of the cross-bar wheel
The cross-bar wheel has never been completely legitimized in the history of draught, being alternately declared in direct line of descent or merely collateral. This wheel (PL. IXa and FIG. 7) is characterized by a single diametric bar, thick enough to accommodate the nave, and by two slender 'cross-bars' on either side of the nave which traverse the central bar at right angles to it, and the ends of which are mortised into the felloe. There may a…
A Note on Two Mycenaean Parasol Kraters
In BSA lxviii I discussed some fragments belonging to a Mycenaean deep bowl krater on which a chariot and a parasol can be identified (Plate 8 a ). The fragments come from the Citadel House area at Mycenae and date to LH IIIB. The attempt to reconstruct the original representation on the vase centred on the position of the parasol, whether it was inside or outside the chariot. The former was considered the more likely possibility, partly in the l…
The Dating of a Chariot Ivory from Nimrud Considered Once Again
A Group of Late Helladic Iiib 2 Pottery from within the Citadel at Mycenae
In this article, the second in the series dealing with pottery found in the Citadel House excavations at Mycenae, I shall describe the nature and contents of the destruction deposit found immediately outside the South House (Citadel House area) on the north. The mass of broken pottery which lay on the built stone causeway leading from the Ramp House upwards to the northern corner of the South House confirms the division into two periods of the La…
The Vulture Stela and an Early Type of Two-Wheeled Vehicle
A Chariot Sherd from Mycenae
The potsherd that is published here (Fig. 1 and Plate 30 a ) comes from Lord William Taylour's excavations in the ‘House with the Idols’ (‘Citadel House’) at Mycenae. It was found on 14 August 1968 in area 2, trench A, level 3. The find-context (given at the time of excavation but not subsequently studied) suggests a terminus ante quem of L.H. IIIC. The piece (Mycenae Excavations no. 59–224) which is at present in the Archaeological Museum, Naupl…
