<p>BabbaQ: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Krasnyi Yar''' is an eneolithic site of the [[Botai culture]] in [[Kazakhstan]]. This large site is significant for the early use of horses there. Horse meat was eaten, but horses were also kept as livestock.<br /> Evidence from the presence of curved rows of postholes (indicative of fencing) and nitrogen and phosphates in the enclosed areas indicate a corral. The only livestock bones found at the site were from horses, so the inference by the researchers is that horses were held in corrals at the site.&lt;ref name=amnh&gt;{{cite web|title=Ancient Krasnyi Yar|url=http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/horse/domesticating-horses/ancient-krasnyi-yar|publisher=American Museum of Natural History|accessdate=10 October 2012}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> Horse-bone tools indicate leather production, suggesting [[horse tack]].&lt;ref name=amnh/&gt;<br /> <br /> Botai sites have been found to have mare's milk residue in vessels and to have horses with tooth-wear interpreted as having been caused by using a bit for riding or traction.&lt;ref&gt;Outram, Alan K., Natalie A.
