Overview

This volume is the second part of the final publication of the Early Bronze Age levels of Khashuri Nastargora. This important site of the Kura-Araxes and Early Kurgan period in the Shida Kartli region of Georgia, excavated in the 1980s by a Georgian mission, was since then left unpublished. The joint Georgian-Italian Shida Kartli Archaeological Project carried out a thorough revision of the old excavation documentation and a study of the original finds, and integrated them with new archaeometric analyses and research on the site's ancient environment. The volume presents the results of the excavations of EBA settlement, one of the few which contain levels of both the Kura-Araxes andBedeni cultures, and can therefore shed new light on the poorly known phase of transition between these. It includes contributions about the main categories of archaeological finds and ecofacts and reports on the results of archaeometric analyses.
