2016-04-13-Note-00-07.Pdf Greeting We are proud to host the third Students Archaeology Symposium of Bamberg „SABA´16“ at the Otto-Friedrich- University Bamberg, Bavaria. Already since 2010 we have offered the oppurtuni- ty for European students of archaeology to present their theses. A special point of „SABA“ is the large spectrum of variegated archaeological disciplines, which are also teached at Bamberg University: Prehistory, Archaeology oft he Roman Provinces, Medi- eval and Post-Medieval Archaeology and Data Processing in Geoarchaeology as well as Islamic Archaeology. In this connection students get an idea of final papers of other BA- and MA-Students as well as the oppurtunity to exchange with all participants and to gain experiences, in keeping with the motto „For students from students“. In conclusion we are glad to announce an international conference with a wide range of presented issues, which took place from 31st of March to 2nd of April 2016. To conclude, we hope that you enjoy reading this conference transcript.

In Central Europe they appear in three different areas: northern Germany and Poland, southern Germany with northern Switzerland and in the Carpathian Basin. At the same time we find early evidence for the emergence of the wheel in the Near East and the northern Pontic Areas, north of the Cau- casus (fig. 1). The question as to where the wheel originated has long been asked but has been answered in dif- ferent ways (Bakker, Kruk, Lanting et al. 1999: 778) not all of which are necessarily conducive to developing a strong narrative. New finds and new radiocarbon results now allow a new perspec- tive on the matter. The evidence can be divided into direct and indirect indicators for the knowledge and usage of the wheel; direct being represented by actual wheel or axle finds and indirect evidence being derived from models, petroglyphs, pictograms, etc. (Hayen 1980/81: 193) with a third distinction to make: Vehicles with four wheels are called wagons, vehicles with two wheels carts. Figure 1 Map of 'wheel provinces' after Schlichtherle 2002 fig. 30. (1) Flintbek, (2) Züschen, (3) Bronocice, For a better overview and to make my point clearer I (4) Zurich, (5) Federsee, (6) Stare Gmajne, (7) Buda- kalász, (8) Uruk shall divide the evidence into two phases, given that there seems to be a natural division around the turn of the 4th to the 3rd millennium BC. So I will deal with the evidence of the 4th millennium for all above mentioned regions before continuing with the 3rd millennium BC. At the end of this I will briefly present the evidence from the 4th millennium in the Near East as this is not actually an area I was dealing with during this study. The 4th millennium BC The earliest direct evidence is mostly found in two different areas, southern Central Europe and the northern Caucasus although one example was found in northern Central Europe as well. Sarah Bockmeyer, Manchester 6 In southern Central Europe, or more precisely the northern Alpine lakes, there are a few direct finds from the 4th millennium BC; most notably bipartite disc wheels that are held together by slide-in profiles and have a rectangular axle hole (fig. 2). This means that the wheel was fixed onto the axle which rotated underneath the cart. Wagons were most likely not possible with this construction as the axle had to be loaded to not roll away from underneath the vehicle (Schlichtherle 2004: 302). In northern Central Europe wagon tracks underneath a megalithic long barrow in Flintbek, Schleswig- Holstein of the Funnel Beaker Culture (TBK) prove the usage of wagons in that area between 3420 – 3385 calBC (Mischka 2011: 747). It is the only direct evi- dence that can be dated so early. Three burials that contained wheels are known from the Majkop Culture in the northern Caucasus. The wheels were placed on the grave and generally in poor Figure 2 Schematic figure of a bipartite wheel. After Schlichtherle 2002, fig. 10 condition (Trifonov 2004: 168, 173, ref. 1). It cannot be said with certainty in which phase of the Majkop Culture the wheels belong; they therefore could date to c. 3500 BC or later around 3300 BC. The current state of research however assumes that the wheels belong to the older phase of the Majkop Culture (Häusler 1980/81: 169). Partially contemporary with the Majkop Culture, in the same area and following into the 3rd mil- lennium BC are the Jamnaja- or Pit grave Cultures. Here, burials containing wheels are more common in the 4th millennium BC. Up to seven wheels but usually four wheels are placed around the pit-grave, normally one on each corner of the grave which led to the assumption that the graves are representative of

  • A Short History of Georgian Architecture
    A SHORT HISTORY OF GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE Georgia is situated on the isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. In the north it is bounded by the Main Caucasian Range, forming the frontier with Russia, Azerbaijan to the east and in the south by Armenia and Turkey. Geographically Georgia is the meeting place of the European and Asian continents and is located at the crossroads of western and eastern cultures. In classical sources eastern Georgia is called Iberia or Caucasian Iberia, while western Georgia was known to Greeks and Romans as Colchis. Georgia has an elongated form from east to west. Approximately in the centre in the Great Caucasian range extends downwards to the south Surami range, bisecting the country into western and eastern parts. Although this range is not high, it produces different climates on its western and eastern sides. In the western part the climate is milder and on the sea coast sub-tropical with frequent rains, while the eastern part is typically dry. Figure 1 Map of Georgia Georgian vernacular architecture The different climates in western and eastern Georgia, together with distinct local building materials and various cultural differences creates a diverse range of vernacular architectural styles. In western Georgia, because the climate is mild and the region has abundance of timber, vernacular architecture is characterised by timber buildings. Surrounding the timber houses are lawns and decorative trees, which rarely found in the rest of the country. The population and hamlets scattered in the landscape. In eastern Georgia, vernacular architecture is typified by Darbazi, a type of masonry building partially cut into ground and roofed by timber or stone (rarely) constructions known as Darbazi, from which the type derives its name.

  • Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia
    The Churches of Mtskheta: Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia Samantha Johnson Senior Art History Thesis December 14, 2017 The small town of Mtskheta, located near Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, is the seat of the Georgian Orthodox Church and is the heart of Christianity in the country. This town, one of the oldest in the nation, was once the capital and has been a key player throughout Georgia’s tumultuous history, witnessing not only the nation’s conversion to Christianity, but also the devastation of foreign invasions. It also contains three churches that are national symbols and represent the two major waves of church building in the seventh and eleventh centuries. Georgia is, above all, a Christian nation and religion is central to its national identity. This paper examines the interaction between incoming foreign cultures and deeply-rooted local traditions that have shaped art and architecture in Transcaucasia.1 Nestled among the Caucasus Mountains, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, present-day Georgia contains fewer than four million people and has its own unique alphabet and language as well as a long, complex history. In fact, historians cannot agree on how Georgia got its English exonym, because in the native tongue, kartulad, the country is called Sakartvelo, or “land of the karvelians.”2 They know that the name “Sakartvelo” first appeared in texts around 800 AD as another name for the eastern kingdom of Kartli in Transcaucasia. It then evolved to signify the unified eastern and western kingdoms in 1008.3 Most scholars agree that the name “Georgia” did not stem from the nation’s patron saint, George, as is commonly thought, but actually comes 1 This research addresses the multitude of influences that have contributed to the development of Georgia’s ecclesiastical architecture.

    Giuli Alasania, Professor, Tbilisi State University Vice-Rector, International Black Sea University Founder, Head of Trustee Board, University of Georgia Georgia as a Bridge between the West and the East (Advantages and disadvantages) Thanks to its location, the Georgian territory became a cradle for European civilization. Several years ago 1.8 million year Dmanisi hominoids were discovered in the foothills of the lesser Caucasus. Traditions of statehood on the Georgian territory are traceable since the mid second millennium BC. Necessary preconditions for the creation of a unified state started to from the beginning of the 3rd century BC, when the West submitted to the East, as a result of which there was created the Kingdom of Kartvels. Being located at the crossroad, Georgia attracted different invasions. Frequent invasions in some cases led to establishing foreign control over Georgian lands; mostly divided into two main parts: the West and the East. If in the first centuries the East as well as the West befell Romans, the rest of the time the East was controlled by Persians, Arabs, Turk-Seljuks, Mongols, while the West much of the time was controlled and influenced by Rome or Byzantium, and just partially by Ottomans before coming of Russia which in the early 19th c. annexed entire Georgia and interrupted longstanding traditions of statehood there. Proceeding from the above-stated, the orientation issue was always topical for the Georgians. In the most typical situation, when two superpowers rivaled for the Georgian land there were people inside with different perceptions and orientations. Any perception, even wrong, served to territorial integrity as well as to aspiration towards sovereignty.

    Proceedings Chapter Gold deposits of the Lesser Caucasus: products of successive Mesozoic and Cenozoic geodynamic settings MORITZ, Robert, et al. Abstract Gold deposits were formed during two different geodynamic evolution stages of the Lesser Caucasus, starting with Mesozoic arc construction along the Eurasian margin, and followed by Cenozoic subduction-related to post-collision magmatism and tectonics during final Arabia- Eurasia convergence and accretion. Gold deposits are of the low-, and intermediate- to high-sulfidation type, with the latter ones being associated with porphyry deposits. Some deposits could be analogous to transitional VMS-epithermal systems in the Late Cretaceous Bolnisi district and during nascent Jurassic arc evolution along the Eurasian margin, but require further investigation.

The article presents a historical review of the attempts of Georgia towards European integration, this being a longstanding aspiration of Georgia and the Georgian people finding its realization only in our times. In this respect the territory of Georgia may be considered belonging to the sphere of European civilization. It is noteworthy that, on medieval geographic maps, Georgia is usually located in the European part of the Eurasian Continent (cf.
