I am grateful to the University of Oxford and St Hugh’s College, Oxford, for the sabbatical leave granted me then and again in Hilary 2014 when completing the final manuscript. Preliminary research for the book and a start on its writing were undertaken in Michaelmas 2012 and Hilary 2013. Subsequent conversations with various graduate students, now colleagues, helped confirm that there might be material in this topic for a book: Sam Challis and Mark McGranaghan particularly warrant noting here. Hunter-gatherers back in Cape Town, I owe another debt. To Jannie Loubser and Gordon Lourens who facilitated that visit, and to John Speth with whom I then discussed equestrian In this case, the first thoughts for writing Horse Nations were sparked back in 1990 by a visit to Melikane Shelter in highland Lesotho, the paintings from which I discuss in Chapter 9. Generous grants from the School of Archaeology of the University of Oxford, St Hugh’s College, Oxford and the School of Geography, Archaeology, and Environmental Studies of the University of the Witwatersrand covered the costs of reproducing many of the photographs I have used. As well as those who directly contributed images of their own, I should like to single out Ramiro Barberena, Luis Borrero, Ruth Bowler, Ian Cartwright, Danett Crespo, Daniel Kosharek, Rose Krause, Larry Loendorf, Kevin MacDonald, Darcy Marlow, Christina Milliman, Daisy Njoku, Felicia Pickering, Susan Snyder, Richard Sorensen, Deacon Turner, and Felicia Wivchar, and, most importantly, Rachel King, who produced a wonderful set of maps. Thanks, too, to Lidia Lozano, who helped with some tricky turns of phrase in Spanish, Mark Dickerson of Oxford’s Balfour Library, and all those who helped with obtaining the images that illustrate the text. Though I may not have always followed their suggestions, I am nevertheless grateful to all those who also pointed out various errors and confusions or identified issues that merited more extensive treatment. First of all, then, I should like to express my gratitude to those colleagues who facilitated my access to aspects of the relevant literature, commented on parts of the manuscript, or even bravely did both: Richard Adams, Ramiro Barberena, Robin Bendrey, Britt Bousman, Sam Challis, Luiz Costa, Matthew Davies, Carlos Fausto, Rachel King, David Lewis-Williams, Kat Manning, Jose´ Oliver, Alistair Paterson, Patrick Roberts, Brian Stewart, Solveig Turpin, Diego Villar, David Whitley, and Raymond Wood.
