Note the observation, "The presence of horse is particularly
interesting since prior to the recent excavations at Çatalhöyük it was
thought to have been absent from the Konya plain before the Bronze
Age. It now seems it was present at least through the Neolithic and
Early Chalcolithic."

=============

There were supposedly three species,
We have hardly any word in Anatolian...

Very little can be said about the equid species except that three separate
species continue to appear in small numbers including, E. Caballus
(identified primarily by size), and E. hydruntinus and E. hemionus
(identified by tooth morphology).
