Description
Book SynopsisThe British-Georgian Pichvnari Expedition has been active since 1998, excavating the cemeteries and settlement of the Greco-Colchian
emporion at Pichvnari. The results of the activities of the first five years were published in
Pichvnari I (2004), and results from some of the activities during the Soviet period were published in
Pichvnari II (2007).
The present volume is concerned with some of the work done in the Hellenistic period cemetery at Pichvnari between 1965 and 2004, as well as at Zemopartskhma and other sites of the Supsa-Natanebi basin, where
pithos burials of the Hellenistic period were discovered in the 1950s.
