Abstract
The present article is an attempt to clarify the taxonomy and domestic status of equids in the southernmost Levant during the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age within the wider context of the Middle East and Egypt during the late fifth, fourth and third millennia B. C. Comparisons of the size of equid bones from sites in this area with that of wild asses and domestic donkeys from Predynastic Egypt and the Uruk period in Mesopotamia indicate the presence of domestic donkeys in the southernmost Levant in both periods. The donkeys of the Early Bronze Age were much smaller than those of the Late Chalcolithic.
