  • 146 Forty Seasons of Excavation: Nokalakevi
    This article has been published by the Georgian National Museum in Iberia-Colchis, available online at http://dspace.nplg.gov.ge/bitstream/1234/242318/1/Iberia_Kolxeti_2017_N13.pdf. Copyright © 2017, Georgian National Museum. Paul Everill, Davit Lomitashvili, Nikoloz Murgulia, Ian Colvin, Besik Lortkipanidze FORTY SEASONS OF EXCAVATION: NOKALAKEVI-TSIKHEGOJI-ARCHAEOPOLIS Abstract. The ruins in the small village of Nokalakevi in Samegrelo, west Georgia, have attracted schol- arly interest since the first half of the 19th century. They were first excavated in 1930, confirming their identification as the remains of the fortress of Archaeopolis mentioned in early Byzantine historical sources, and known as Tsikhegoji or ‘the triple-walled fortress’ by the Georgian chroni- clers. The 40th season of excavation took place in 2015, part of an on-going collaboration be- tween the Anglo-Georgian Expedition to Nokalakevi, established in 2001, and the S. Janashia Museum expedition to Nokalakevi, which started work on the site in 1973. The fortifications en- close a naturally defensible area of approximately 20ha, with a steep limestone river gorge to the north, west and (to a lesser extent) the south, and a hilltop citadel standing more than 200m above the lower town. The site has seen human activity since at least the 8th century BC, with indications of a much earlier presence in the area. This paper seeks to outline the key results of the 40 seasons of excavation, against the backdrop of the shifting political landscape of Georgia. Introduction. In 2015 the multi-period site of Nokalakevi in western Georgia hosted its 40th season of exca- vation.

  • GEORGIA Second Edition March 2010
    WHO DOES WHAT WHERE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN GEORGIA Second edition March 2010 Georgian National Committee of Disaster Risk Reduction & Environment Sustainable Development FOREWORD Georgia is a highly disaster-prone country, which frequently experiences natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, floods, landslides, mudflows, avalanches, and drought) as well as man-made emergencies (e.g. industrial accidents and traffic accidents). Compounding factors such as demographic change, unplanned urbanization, poorly maintained infrastructure, lax enforcement of safety standards, socio-economic inequities, epidemics, environmental degradation and climate variability amplify the frequency and intensity of disasters and call for a proactive and multi-hazard approach. Disaster risk reduction is a cross-cutting and complex development issue. It requires political and legal commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge, careful development planning, responsible enforcement of policies and legislation, people-centred early warning systems, and effective disaster preparedness and response mechanisms. Close collaboration of policy-makers, scientists, urban planners, engineers, architects, development workers and civil society representatives is a precondition for adopting a comprehensive approach and inventing adequate solutions. Multi-stakeholder and inter-agency platforms can help provide and mobilize knowledge, skills and resources required for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development policies, for coordination of planning and programmes,

  • Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T
    Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T. Sinclair (Turkey), 1997 with the assistance of Diane Braund Introduction Pontus The land of Pontus has two main parts, both of which belonged to the Mithridatic kingdom of Pontus in the Hellenistic period. The first is the main ridge of the Pontic mountains and the steep descent to the shore. The lower slopes are thickly wooded, and the shore districts have a humid and rainy climate. In the main Pontic ridge a gap occurs in the hinterland of Amisus (modern Samsun), after which the mountain chain continues at a lower height and with less abrupt slopes (Strabo’s term Paryadres seems to denote the higher part of the chain). As far east as Rhizaion (Rize) Greek settlements along the coast have existed since the sixth century B.C., and in the case of Sinope the seventh. To the south, the Pontic chain is bordered by Armenia Minor, a part of Armenia itself (Late Antique Sper, probably the Syspiritis of the classical authors), and what was to become the Georgian mountainous district of Tao, drained by the R. Glaukos (Oltu Çay) and the Tortum Çay. The district of Chaldia, the Gümüşhane basin, is difficult to classify, particularly in classical times, as there is no evidence that it belonged either to Pontus (in a geographical or administrative sense), to Armenia Minor, or to Armenia itself. The Roman empire made no effort to control the interior of Chaldia until the reign of Justinian. The second part of Pontus is the series of fertile inland plains, joined by relatively low chains of hills, in the river systems of the Iris (Kızıl Irmak) and the lower Halys (Yeşil Irmak).

  • Mingrelian Question’: Institutional Resources and the Limits of Soviet Nationality Policy
    EUROPE-ASIA STUDIES Vol. 66, No. 6, August 2014, 993–1013 The ‘Mingrelian Question’: Institutional Resources and the Limits of Soviet Nationality Policy TIMOTHY BLAUVELT Abstract Based on primary source materials from the Georgian Party archive and periodical press, this article examines the conflict between central and local elites in the Soviet Republic of Georgia over whether or not to grant linguistic and territorial rights to residents of one of its regions. The case demonstrates how the promises and aspirations of Soviet nationality policy were actually negotiated and interpreted on the local level in the early years of Soviet power, and how actors attempted to make use of nationality policy in order to mobilise the institutional resources available to them. THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE CONFLICT BETWEEN CENTRAL AND LOCAL elites in the Soviet Republic of Georgia over whether or not to grant linguistic and territorial rights to residents of one of its regions. The case demonstrates how the promises and aspirations of Soviet nationality policy were actually negotiated and interpreted on the local level in the early years of Soviet power, and how actors attempted to mobilise the institutional resources available to them. This confrontation over the implementation of Soviet nationality policy in turn became one over the definition of Georgian national identity. This article makes use of reports, letters and petitions from the Georgian Party archive as well as the public discussion of the issue in the local periodical press. From 1925 until early 1933, the local leadership of Mingrelia in western Georgia, headed by a local district Party First Secretary, Isak Zhvania, an Old Bolshevik who had played a role in the Soviet victory in the Caucasus, demanded from the central republican leadership in Tbilisi (then Tiflis) that their local ethnic sub-group be recognised as a distinct nationality and should therefore receive the administrative, linguistic and territorial rights and privileges afforded to ethnic minorities.

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.
