In chronicle “Moktsevai Khartlisai” (IX century) is mentioned “Khevi Tsanaretisa” (Khevi of Tsanareti) when describing events of sixth (VI) century. Later the name “Tsa- nareti” was not used and remained general name “Khevi”. At the same time “Tsaneri- ans” are now called as “Mokhevians”. Description of Kazbegi Region Physical-Geographical location of Khazbegi (Khevi) region is the north slope of Cauca- sus Mountains ridge, between the central and the east Caucasus, near the beginning of the river Tergi. The whole size of the region is 1081, 9 km2. The regional centre Stephantsminda (Kazbegi) (coordinates: north latitude - 42039/40,53//; east longitude - 44038/37,54//) and 45 villages (26 villages among them are abandoned) belong to the region. Distance from Tbilisi to Stephantsminda is 152 km. From north and north-east sides Russian Federation borders Kazbegi region; from south and south-east sides – Dusheti region and from south-west – Java and Akhalgori regions. The geographical coordinates of the borders are: Border North latitude East longitude West 42038/42,66// 44030/48,55// North 42045/05,89// 44030/55,15// East 42036/02,29// 44051/09,66// South 42028/44,62// 44029/57,48// The south border of Khevi landscape follows top of Great Caucasus ridge from Zilgaik- hokhi mountain to Bursachiri pass; the west border follows Ardon-Tergi watershed from Zilgaikhokhi mountain to Siverauti mountain and separates Khevi from South Osetia (Dvaleti cave). The north boarder coincides with top of Khokhi and other massifs of Caucasus lateral ridge. It follows Siatisi, Jimara and Mkhinvartsveri mountain peaks,

    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

Existence of ancient human being on Georgian territory is confirmed from the early stages of anthropogenesis. Nearby Dmanisi valley (80 km south-west of Tbilisi) the remnants of homo erectus are found, age of them is about 1,8 million years old. At present it is the oldest trace in Euro-Asia. Later on the Stone Age a man took the whole territory of Georgia. Former settlements of Ashel period (400–100 thousand years ago) are discovered as on the coast of the Black Sea as in the regions within highland Georgia. Approximately 6–7 thousands years ago people on the territory of Georgia began to use as the instruments not only the stone but the metals as well.

The direct involvement of the public authorities in the landscaped drawing constitutes a well anchored tradition. Sufficient to remind the statues of Lenin, propaganda posters, or the folkorisation of the city through the restoration of "Old Tbilisi" in late Soviet time to understand that issues at stakes in transforming the urban cityscape are not only economic (real estate speculation, etc..) but also highly political: it aims at erasing the traces of the Soviet past and at making visible the governmental program of modernization, including in its rationalist and hygienist dimension, and rapprochement with the West.

    3 Historical and Political Geography

    World Regional Geography Book Series Series Editor E.F.J. de Mulder Haarlem, The Netherlands What does Finland mean to a Fin, Sichuan to a Shichuanian, and California to a Californian? How are physical and human geographical factors reflected in their present-day inhabitants? And how are these factors interrelated? How does history, culture, socio-economy, language and demography impact and characterize and identify an average person in such regions today? How does that determine her or his well-being, behaviour, ambitions and perspectives for the future? These are the type of questions that are central to The World Regional Geography Book Series, where physically and socially coherent regions are being characterized by their roots and future perspectives described through a wide variety of scientific disciplines. The Book Series presents a dynamic overall and in-depth picture of specific regions and their people. In times of globalization renewed interest emerges for the region as an entity, its people, its land- scapes and their roots. Books in this Series will also provide insight in how people from dif- ferent regions in the world will anticipate on and adapt to global challenges as climate change and to supra-regional mitigation measures. This, in turn, will contribute to the ambitions of the International Year of Global Understanding to link the local with the global, to be proclaimed by the United Nations as a UN-Year for 2016, as initiated by the International Geographical Union. Submissions to the Book Series are also invited on the theme ‘The Geography of…’, with a relevant subtitle of the authors/editors choice.
