Intentional damage to metal artefacts in burials and hoards in the south Caucasus, 2000-550 BC
The deposition of intentionally damaged metal artefacts within burials and hoards is a phenomenon attested in areas as disparate as Ireland and the Caucasus during the Bronze and Iron Ages. While ritual significance is often attributed to such damage in burial contexts, the intentions behind the inclusion of damaged objects in hoards remain enigmatic. This article synthesises evidence for the intentional destruction of metal artefacts from 70 sit…
Evidence for textile production in Rabati, Georgia, during the Bedeni phase of the Early Kurgan period
Georgian-Australian excavations in the multi-period settlement site of Rabati, located in southwest Georgia, have produced substantial evidence of textile manufacturing in the Early Kurgan, Bedeni period (2400–2000 BCE). The results of Palynological, Non-Pollen Palynomorph (NPP), Archaeobotanical, bone and fired clay tool analyses presented here have identified fibres of flax and hemp. The presence of cotton is the earliest evidence for this fibr…
The Early Kurgan Period in Rabati, Georgia
This paper reports on radiocarbon ( 14 C) results from the recent archaeological investigations in the ancient frontier fortress of Rabati, in southwest Georgia, a collaborative research project involving archaeologists from the Georgian National Museum and the University of Melbourne. From the first three excavation seasons spanning 2016, 2018, and 2019, it became clear that significant Bedeni phase deposits capped most of the summit of the site…
Archaeobotanical and isotopic evidence of Early Bronze Age farming activities and diet in the mountainous environment of the South Caucasus
Koban Mezarliği, 9 Ve 12 No'lu Mezarlar
This paper examines funerary assemblages nos. 9 and 12 of the Koban necropolis, located in the Northern Caucasus. This necropolis, which was excavated in the last quarter of the 19th century, has given its name to one of the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age cultures of the Caucasus. The two Koban graves presented here have always been the subject of interest among specialists. Several attempts at their reconstruction are known. As a result of our …
