Clothing was found with the bodies, although it is unclear which if any of the clothes would have been considered everyday wear.

Also found were embalmed bodies, one with tatoos. Therefore, many of the artifacts discussed in this book are equipment associated with the horses. In addition, the artifacts associated with the horses and the horses themselves, which were buried just outside the tombs, had not been looted and were found intact. Although the tombs had been extensively looted in antiquity, many artifacts made of fragile materials (such as wood, fabric, and leather) were preserved.
