From deep antiquity through the present day, both wild and domestic equids have played a central role in lifeways and culture along the Nile and beyond. In this special issue of Studies in Egyptian Archaeology and Science, we will draw together contributions from across disciplinary boundaries, seeking perspectives from history, art and art history, anthropology, archaeology, and archaeological science that illuminate new or important aspects of the human-equid story in Egypt, modern and ancient, with a special focus on new approaches and techniques.
