Abstract
The paper presents collected data topically concerning the horse in the Bronze Age,Hallstatt and La Tène Periods in Moravia, i.e., in the years 2300/2200 - the turn of the era. There area total of 5,259 objects distributed across 219 sites.
The data confronts the system of long-distancecommunications by Jan Martínek et al., determines their possible intensification in different periodsand predicts possible centres. This follows the thesis that the horse and the sources associated withit belong to elites that coordinate long-distance roads and centres.
