The roles of horses in the lives of peoples in the past have been enthusiastically debated among archaeologists and historians. In this presentation, Dr. Karen S. Rubinson shares a case study offering a window into how horses were viewed and used in the Bronze Age South Caucasus. The springboard for this talk is a 4000-year-old painted ceramic jar decorated with horses excavated at a site in modern Armenia. Dr. Rubinson brings together evidence from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia to shed light on the changing relationship of horses and humans over more than 1000 years in the South Caucasus.
