| Dear Colleagues: This summer we recovered an in-place snaffle bit from an Iron Age mound burial in western Mongolia. I am looking for comparable bits. Can some-one send me a copy of any of these? N. A. Palk (1984) Iron Age Bridle-Bits from Britain, E. M. Jope (1955) "Chariotry and Paired-Draught in Ireland during the Early Iron Age: The Evidence of Some Horse-Bridle-Bits," Ulster Journal of Archaeology, E. M. Jope (1950) "Two Iron-Age Horse Bridle-Bits from the North of Ireland," Ulster Journal of Archaeology, or the illustrated bits from J. Davis-Kimball, V. A. Bashilov and L. T. Yablonsky (1995) Nomads of the Eurasian Steppes in the Early Iron Age or any other pictures or descriptions of comparable bits? Also, does any-one know of any-thing comparable from around this time-period to the (bronze?) clapper bell we found under the neck of the horse? tanks in advance for any help.
