Abstract

The 2010-2011 activities of the Shida Kartli archaeological project by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in collaboration with the Georgian National Museum included excavation, the study of unpublished material, and a remote-sensing-assisted geomorphological survey. Two kurgans of the EBA (Bedeni) and LB period were excavated at Okherakhevi. At Natsargora, the study of the settlement material from the old Georgian excavation was completed, and a new excavation area was opened on top of the mound. In spite of the poor preservation of the EBA layers, important results were obtained concerning the relative and absolute chronology of the Kura-Araxes and Bedeni cultures.
