A new Early Bronze Age wagon model from the Carpathian Basin
Mária Bondár, György V. Székely · World Archaeology · 2011
This study offers a brief overview of the main directions in the research into prehistoric wagon models and the appearance of wheeled vehicles. A new Early Bronze Age clay model found recently in Hungary is presented as part of the study. A discussion of the analogies to the model and the interpretation of its design are followed by a review of new European finds proving the early use of wagons. The dates strongly suggest that wheeled vehicles appeared more or less simultaneously in several places.
