Foreword The bilingual (Georgian and English) Catalogue of weapons and armor found at the archaeological sites of Classical Period Georgia (5th century BC. - 4th century AD.), “Weapons and Armor in Georgia (5th century BC. - 4th century AD.) II, Catalogue” was accomplished with the support and funding of Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation. Here the data (the location of the site, dating, quantity of graves excavated at the cemeteries, number of graves with weapons) from 106 archaeological sites is given. All weapons are described, the photos and draw- ings are also attached. The number on the illustration is given according to the number of the Catalogue. The map of archaeological sites is also attached. The Catalogue is the second part of the book “Weapons and Armor in Georgia (5th century BC. - 4th century AD.)”, which refers to the typological-statistical, comparative analysis of weapons found at the archaeological sites of Georgia; reviews historical, historical-geographical and source study problems of the Classical Period Iberia and Colchis (5th century BC. - 4th century AD.). The statistical and typological data from each archaeological site, containing weapons and armor from Georgia is studied in the separate chapter, where the short information about 106 archaeological sites is given. On the basis of statistical analysis, the number of armed persons and weap- ons in the burials of various periods are studied. 5 abano (rukaze # 1) Abano (# 1 on the map) sof. abano mdebareobs qarelis municipalitetSi, md. frones xeobaSi. aq, adgil `cixiana- ze~ gaiTxara Zv.w.
