Ancient DNA analysis has been an emergent area
of research during the past few decades. With the
development of new molecular biology techniques it
has become easier to retrieve genetic information from
archaeological samples than was previously thought
possible. This is of great importance as it helps us
to clarify species phylogenies and understand the
evolution of animals and plants.
This area has been important in the study of
domestication, since it sheds light on the processes
through which animals became part of human societies.
Here we address the domestication of the horse. Despite
their significance in shaping societies through prehistoric
and historic times, the nature and timing of horse
domestication has been hard to document. We initiated
ABSTRACT
the first comprehensive study of horse domestication
in Iberia using an archaeogenetics and osteometrics
approach. Gene flow across the Mediterranean has
been shown to be a significant factor in other domestic
species and also frequently reported for horses in
historic documents. Since no recent studies on horse
domestication have included samples from North
Africa, this study is pioneering in this respect.
We present preliminary data resulting from the
ancient DNA analysis of archaeological populations
from Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, and
provide new insights into potential founder populations
of extant domestic horses. We explore the relationship
of archaeological and present day genetic types and
shed light on the history of horse and its domestication.

INTRODUCTION
Among domesticated animals, the horse differs from others because, some time in the
past, horses were no longer bred solely as a food resource. Horses attained a unique role
as animals of transportation and especially warfare, changing societies on a continent-wide
scale (Levine, 2005). The horse became valuable and prestigious in many cultures, even being
gifted from one ruler to another as a sign of nobility (Levine, 1999; Hyland, 2003).
Despite the pivotal role horses have played in the history of human societies, the process
and timing of their domestication is not yet well understood. Recent research (Outram et al.,
2009) shows the earliest domestic horses present in Botai, Kazakhstan, around 5000 years
ago. It is unarguable that the central Asian steppe was significant for horse domestication
(Anthony, 2007) and both genetics and archaeology point to this geographic region contributing
significantly to the domestic horse gene pool (e.g. Levine, 2005; Warmuth et al., 2011; Achilli
et al., 2012). However, previous genetic research (Vilà et al., 2001; Jansen et al., 2002; Cieslak
et al., 2010) has shown that horses were domesticated a number of times and in a number of
locations. The central Asian steppe was undoubtedly one of these locations, but how many
other geographic regions also contributed to the domestic horse gene pool, and which ones?
The Iberian Peninsula formed a refugium for many plant and animal species during
the last glacial maximum (LGM) (Gómez & Lunt, 2007), and this most probably included
Pleistocene horse populations which, prior to the LGM were widely dispersed across Europe
(e.g. Bendrey, 2012). Previous works (Seco-Morais et al., 2007; Warmuth et al., 2011) suggest
that the post glacial horse populations which survived the LGM could have formed a possible
independent focus of horse domestication, due to its latitude and isolation from the rest of
Europe by the Pyrenees. This theory had previously been raised by several authors (e.g.
Gonzaga, 2004; Andrade, 1926; Zeuner, 1963; Uerpmann, 1995; Royo et al., 2005), and
is supported by the archaeological record (e.g. Muñiz et al., 1996). Nevertheless, recent
works by Cieslack et al. (2010) and Lira et al. (2010) based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
population genetics from zooarchaeological samples, indicated a lack of evidence for
an independent domestication of the horse in the Iberian Peninsula. However, these
studies only included a limited number of samples from the Iberian Peninsula (n = 67),
especially from the south, where the horses are thought to have persisted even during
the last Ice Age (e.g. Andrade, 1954; Gonzaga, 2004; Gomes, 2010). Because of the high
genetic diversity of horses (e.g. Jansen et al., 2002; Cieslack et al., 2010), a large number
of individuals are required if population structure is to be demonstrated. Therefore, the
number of ancient horse samples from Iberia needs to be significantly increased in order
to further investigate the contribution of Iberian horses to the domestic horse gene pool.
Furthermore, an area of research that has hitherto been overlooked, is the possible
influence of horse populations from around edges of the Mediterranean basin, in
particular, those from North Africa. Recent research (Oliveira et al., 2012; Colominas-
Barbera et al., 2015) show that gene flow occurred in wheat and cattle from North Africa
into the Iberian Peninsula at various periods in prehistory. But no research has been
carried out on the possible gene flow between the horse populations of these regions.
Research in this area could bring new insights into the history of horse domestication in
this region and contact between people across the Mediterranean in prehistory.
We initiated research on an extensive collection of living and archaeological horses from
Iberia and North Africa, using an osteometric and population genetics approach. We included
ancient DNA from archaeological horses in order to facilitate accurate temporal and spatial
modelling of past population demographics. This paper presents the preliminary analyses of

the genetics results obtained from archaeological horse samples collected in the Iberian
Peninsula and North Africa, in order to contribute to the overall characterisation of the
domestication of the horse. Our study presents the first ancient DNA data from North
Africa. In this matter, this study is unique.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Research material
297 archaeological horse bones and teeth from Iberia and North Africa were collected for
aDNA analysis, from a wide temporal scale (Figure 1). A network of archaeologists, researchers
and institutions collaborated in this study and provided the ancient samples.
Ancient DNA extraction and amplification
We selected 106 ancient samples out of the initial 297, covering a broad range of
time periods, and a wide geographical spread, including the north and south of the
Iberian Peninsula, and North Africa.
Ancient DNA analysis was performed in a dedicated ancient DNA laboratory at the
University of Cambridge. We amplified a 700 base pair fragment of the mitochondrial
D-loop in five overlapping fragments, between 15424 bp and 16107 bp with reference
to the sequence published by Xu and Arnason (1994). The DNA analysis followed
previously published protocols (e.g. Campana, 2011) and used a PCR based re-
sequencing approach. We chose to analyse the mitochondrial D-loop in order to allow
the screening of the largest number of individuals possible to enable a population
genetics approach. Appropriate contamination control and authentication methods
were followed. The samples will be further analysed at an independent laboratory to
validate the results.

Ancient DNA analysis
Sequences obtained from ancient DNA amplification were aligned with the DNA Alignment
v 1.3.3.1 software (fluxus-engineering.com) and median joining networks were constructed
using Network 4.6.1.3. (Bandelt et al., 1999; fluxus-engineering.com). Haplogroups were
defined with reference to the nomenclature used by Cieslak et al. (2010).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
From the total of 106 ancient samples screened, we obtained DNA from 54 samples, and
the complete sequence of 700 bp from 33 samples (Table 1), belonging to archaeological sites
in Portugal (N=2), Spain (N=20), Algeria (N=3) and Tunisia (N=8) (Figure 2). This represents a
success rate for aDNA amplification of 29%, which is typical in aDNA studies. This is due to
the difficulties associated with analysis of ancient biomolecules which are fragmented and
chemically altered due to post-mortem DNA decay (Gilbert et al., 2003). The integrity of DNA
molecules is variable and depends on several factors such as the climate, soil chemistry and
time (Pääbo et al., 2004, Campana et al., 2013).

Of the 28 North African samples that we studied, we obtained a total of 11 complete
sequences, with a success rate of 39.3%. This is higher than that for the Iberian samples
(28.2% success). This success rate is better than expected a priori when we consider
previous studies (Smith et al., 2003) that demonstrate that the thermal age of the fossils
– i.e. the time taken to produce a given degree of DNA degradation when temperature
is held at a constant 10ºC - is important for the conservation of biomolecules in the
sample, being lower temperatures better for DNA preservation. Prior to this research,
very few aDNA studies of domestic animal species have included data from North Africa
(Campana et al., 2013) - only cattle (e.g. (Edwards et al., 2004) and donkey (e.g. Kimura
et al. 2013) have been studied - because of the poor preservation of ancient DNA from
these regions and the difficulty in obtaining material for study. Interestingly, despite
repeated attempts, we were not able to extract and amplify DNA from the 13 Moroccan
samples we screened. This is probably due to the harsh environmental conditions that
these samples were subject to.
The results obtained in this study showed that two of our North African samples
(LOS220 from Algeria and ALT117 from Tunisia) belonged to another equid species instead
of Equus caballus, namely Equus asinus. This shows that ancient DNA analysis can be an
effective tool in discerning between equid species when the analysis of bone and tooth
morphology yields an unclear identification. Two further Algerian samples (FOR221 and
FOR224) were radiocarbon dated and the results showed that these samples were from a
recent historic period. Therefore, they were excluded from the network presented here.
The samples for which we obtained the complete sequence consist of 2 horses of
Late Pleistocene age, representing wild horses and 27 Holocene horses dating variously
(according to the archaeological contexts from which the bones and teeth derive) to the
Mesolithic (8000-7000 BC), the Middle/Late Neolithic (5000-3000 BC), the Chalcolithic
(3000-1900 BC), the Bronze Age (1800-800 BC), the Iron Age (850-200 BC), the Roman
period (200 BC-500 AD), and the medieval period (500-1400 AD).

The 27 sequences in our analysis showed 24 haplotypes which clustered into six
haplogroups. There was very little haplotype sharing, showing that the diversity in our data
was high. This is to be expected, as horse genetic diversity is high as previously referred,
however, it is significant that we captured so much genetic diversity in such a small sample
set. The analysis shows a heterogeneous mtDNA pattern within ancient horse populations
in Iberia and North Africa (Figure 3). Of the six haplogroups represented in our data, two can
be identified as being part of the three pre-domestic lineages (B, H1, J) identified by Cieslack
et al. (2010) as being confined to the Iberian Peninsula. Namely, the H1 and J lineages appear
in our Chalcolithic and Bronze Age samples from north and south of Spain, which indicates
that these lineages were widespread in Iberia during this period. In particular, Haplogroup
H1 is still found in some living Iberian breeds such as the Lusitano or Marismeño, but in
lower frequency than in ancient times (Cieslack et al., 2010). Since Haplotype H1 was at
high frequency in past populations in Iberia, it is not surprising that it is represented in
our data and at high frequency (26%). The second highest frequency haplotype in our data
is J, which occurs at 22%. Haplogroup B was not found in our data. It is significant that
Haplogroup H1 in our data is almost exclusively Bronze Age and Haplogroup J is almost
exclusively Chalcolithic. In fact, the period 3000-800 BC is represented by Haplotypes
H1 and J only. Although this might suggest low genetic diversity in horses of this period,
it is most likely that this is an artefact of low sample number. However, where sample
size is small, the highest frequency types will have a higher probability of being sampled
due to stochastic factors, therefore, we can suggest that Haplotypes H1 and J were at high
frequency in Chalcolithic and Bronze Age horse populations in Iberia.
Haplogroup X2 is the most common in living Iberian and North African samples (e.g.
Jansen et al., 2002, Royo et al., 2005, Luís et al., 2006) and appears only after the Bronze Age
in our data. This is in agreement with the findings of Cieslak et al., (2010) and Lira et al. (2010)
and suggests that wild horse genetic diversity was repeatedly sampled over time, bringing
different haplotypes into the domestic gene pool at different periods in time. This shows that
the domestication of horses was a much more complex and protracted process than that
of other animals, involving gene flow of scale far greater than the introgression from wild
populations experienced by domestic cattle, ovicaprids, or pigs (e.g. Edwards et al., 2007).

Although our data include only two Pleistocene horse sequences, they fall within the
network at a basal position close to the root. Furthermore, one (CRI184) is relatively closely
related to our Neolithic sequence. Since previous research (e.g. Vilà et al., 2001) has
placed Pleistocene horses in a separate, distant clade to other living or ancient horses, it
is interesting that the Pleistocene and Neolithic horses in our data are relatively closely
related. This suggests that more robust phylogenetic methods might place the Pleistocene
horses within the past horse populations and not separate from them, suggesting that it
might be possible to demonstrate some level of continuity of populations in Iberia.
The results we have presented here are preliminary and further analyses are planned.
Initially, the ancient sequences will be included into an extensive analysis of living horse
populations, carried out as part of this study, and will serve to anchor the living horse
phylogenies in time and space. Collation of living and ancient sequences will allow the
use of Bayesian statistical reconstruction of population demographics over time. The data
here can be combined with previously published mtDNA data to provide the basis of a
large scale analysis of Old World horse genetic data. We are confident that with these
further analyses we can obtain new insights into the timing and complexity of the horse
domestication process, not only in Iberia and North Africa, but also in Eurasia, and its
genetic consequences for the horse as a species.
