We’ve touched upon the first ever artifact depicting a wheel (probably) here which item was found in Poland (in Bronowice). However, Poland and, more generally, north-central Europe is home to a number of similar artifacts. Some of those show chariots and other just horses. Here is a sample that comes from Robert Forrer’s 1932 article in Préhistoire (Les chars préhistoriques et leurs survivances aux époques historiques) as well as a few others conveniently collected by the Ahnenerbe crowd (they, of course, thought this was all Teutonic).
Most of these come from the area of Kaszuby or, more broadly Gdańsk Pomerania (German names for ease of use since much of the earlier literature reflects these artifacts using German place names).
Here are some horses only from same general area.
Similar pictures of chariots may be found in Slovene Ljubljana (Laibach) or the Serbian/Hungarian Bačka region.
