Tocharian trousers!

[Duncan Head]

Oldest trousers in the world found in Tarim Basin in Xinjiang - https://www.sciencenews.org/article/first-pants-worn-horse-riders-3000-years-ago

"The two trouser-wearing men entombed at Yanghai were roughly 40 years old and had probably been warriors as well as herders, the investigators say. One man was buried with a decorated leather bridle, a wooden horse bit, a battle-ax and a leather bracer for arm protection. Among objects placed with the other body were a whip, a decorated horse tail, a bow sheath and a bow."

No pics of the weapons, sadly.

Eeh, Gromitt!  I wondered where I put them ....

...Now where's me needle and thread to patch them, lad?

More at http://bridging-eurasia.org/en/node/298 - Fig. 4 (in the photos along the top) seems to show one of the bodies, with trousers and axe.
