Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A quarter of a century after Childe's two classic papers on the earliest wheeled transport in Western Asia and Europe, we now have evidence for about 750 actual vehicles, parts, models, or linear representations, together with a firm chronological framework for understanding their development. The earliest wheels (for ox-drawn vehicles) were adopted almost synchronously from Sumer to Switzerland, 3000-2500 BC - surely by diffusion from a fairly limited area of experiment, somewhere in the Turkey-Syria region. Horse traction relates closely to the development of the light chariot, experimentally adopted in early 2nd millennium BC, and Hallstatt-La Tène saw many technological developments such as the use of bentwood felloes and iron hoop tyres. | |
