The present work is the result of the First International Chariot Conference, jointly organised by the Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo (NVIC) and the American University in Cairo (AUC) (30 November to 2 December 2012). The intention of the conference was to make a broad assessment of the current state of knowledge about chariots in Egypt and the Near East, and to provide a forum for discussion. A wide variety of papers are included, ranging from overviews to more detailed studies focusing on a specific topic. These include philology, iconography, archaeology, engineering, history, and conservation. The book is of interest to scholars as well as anyone with an interest in ancient technology, transportation, or warfare.

The biggest chariot race of the year. A wealthy patrician favoured to win. Not if Belbus has anything to do about it... This scrappy bookmaker has made his living taking bets on everything from chariot racing to gladiatorial fights to drunken tavern brawls. No more. He wants out. He wants a quiet life in the countryside, and finally he sees a way to get it. Together with his partner-in-training, Belbus hatches a plot to rig the upcoming race and fund his early retirement. Only problem is, it'll put him in the path of ruthless mercenaries, corrupt politicians, hulking gladiators and wily brothel-keepers. Not to mention the sadistic charioteer at the centre of it all; the man Belbus is trying to blackmail. It's all or nothing for Belbus. He's put everything on the line for this one last chance at freedom. His reputation. His safety. His life. If his plan works, it'll be worth it. If it doesn't, the consequences are too terrible to imagine...

This volume brings together recent excavations at two sites in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. The main focus of the Volume will be examining Iron Age burials, which included chariots, sword and spears and will also include earlier Prehistoric and later Roman activity. The excavations have enabled further scientific evidence for migration and mobility in the Iron Age population and secure chronologies for artefacts. New evidence from osteological analysis gives support for Warrior Graves and burial rites. The Pocklington shield has been described as one of the most significant pieces of Iron Age art. The exceptional Finds including a dismantled chariot with horses and an upright chariot also with horses captured the worlds media and the public imagination. The excavations at Pocklington in 2017& 2018 were featured on BBC 4’s Digging for Britain series and was voted Current Archaeology Rescue Project of the Year 2018.
