一项新的分析表明,“大平原”部落获得马匹的时间比一些历史学家认为的要早得多,这与土著居民将马描述为长期与持久的伙伴关系保持一致。封面图上的这幅岩画来自美国怀俄明州南部的托拉尔遗址,推测可能绘制于17世纪早期--现代马在北美广泛分布后不久的时候。

A new analysis shows that Great Plains tribes acquired horses much earlier than some historians had thought,consistent with Indigenous descriptions of a long and enduring partnership with the horse.This petroglyph,from the Tolar site in southern Wyoming,probably dates from soon after the modern horse became widespread in North America in the early 17th century.
