DESCRIPTION:The use of horses has had a tremendous impact on the histo
 ry of societies\, in the Old as well as in the New World. While existi
 ng narratives focus on the impact of the horse in warfare\, our work c
 ounters current narratives of the development of horse riding and the 
 social changes associated with it. The data we recovered from our in-d
 epth study of a ritual landscape in central Mongolia allows for a new 
 reconstruction of the cultural changes during the Bronze and Early Iro
 n Age (ca. 1900 to 400 BCE). In this talk\, I discuss the social dynam
 ics we observe in connection with horse riding which eventually led to
  the establishment of the famous armies of mounted warriors that were 
 troubling neighboring powers and Chinese Dynasties.
