  • Leri Tavadze Quarterly Report for Farig Rothschild Research Grant I Have Started to Realize My Research Project Since 1 March, 2011
    Leri Tavadze Quarterly Report For FaRiG Rothschild Research Grant I have started to realize my research project since 1 March, 2011. Project is about “Georgian secular depiction between Sassanian and Byzantine prototypes” The first quarter lasts from March up to the end of May. Initial goal for the first quarter was to collect the materials concerning the research topic as well as arrangement of presentation of my project at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University also wherever it is possible, namely at scientific research conferences. The materials that I have already collected are accumulated from the various institutions and special literature. Among the archives and libraries I am indebted to Georgian National Center of Manuscripts and National Parliamentary Library of Georgia. Some materials are collected from the special literature. The list of bibliography is included in the article that I have prepared. Now briefly about the presentations over the research project that I have managed to accomplish.The first presentation was held at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU). Another one took place in Vardzia at 3rd International Conference of Student-Archaeologists organized jointly by Tbilisi State University (TSU) and University of Oxford, 12-15 April, 2011. The title of my conference paper was – “Social Motives in Late Antique and Early Medieval Georgian Secular Depiction (According to Archaeological, Numismatic, Glyptic and Relief Materials Discovered in Georgia)” During the first quarter I have also managed to write an article that reports the early stage of my research project which is very important to understand the secular depiction of medieval Georgia. This article I have presented in 3rd International Conference of Student- Archaeologists at Vardzia.

    Science Signpost Publishing Advances in Ecological and Environmental Research Hello America! Vazha Todua1, Otari Chitanava2 1. Botanic-Zoology Department, Sokhumi State University, 9 Politkovskaya Str., 0186, Tbilisi, Georgia. 2. Georgian Technical University, 77, Kostava Str., 0160, Tbilisi, Georgia. Received: December 30, 2020 / Accepted: February 12, 2020 / Published: Vol. 5, Issue 04, pp. 135-141, 2020 Abstract: The article presents a description of the plant sequoia that grows in the Zugdidi Botanical Garden of the Samegrelo region in Georgia. The Megrelian sequoia is compared to the sequoia collection in California. It is characterized by the nature of Samegrelo and the Poti lowland, which is comparable to the nature of California. Economic gains and links with other countries are also shown. The article was written in August 2019. Key words: Flora, Megrelian, Kolkheti, Botanical garden, Zugdidi, Sequoia, Poti 1. Introduction Welcome to the evergreen tree – Sequoia – Sequoiadendzon giganteum of the cypress family (Cupzessaceae) imported from the Nikiti Botanical Garden in the 50s of the 19th century (about 1850). Samegrelo is one of the sides in Georgia and is conditionally equivalent to the state US. Its administrative center is Zugdidi. Zugdidi's Megrelian Sequoia had a strategic ally "mother" at the Big Tree Park, Calaveras (California), America, with a tunnel cut in its trunk (was cut in 1880), in which the car could freely be getting through. This giant tree sequoia called the Ioner Chabin Tree at the age of 1000, in 2017 was knocked down by the wind and fell. He practically could not withstand the strong storm, but left his "children and grandchildren," which subsequently spread around the world, in the Colchis part of Samegrelo.
