Last year in 2015, archaeologists were surprised by their
findings at the Didnauri complex, in southeast Georgia. Their
excavations within the parameters of the ancient site, which encompasses
a substantially long 1-mile wall (around 23 ft wide), revealed a wealth
of artifacts – ranging from stone weapons, ceramic objects to bronze
tools. In fact, the sheer scale of the urbanized area (gauged by
satellite images), dating from around 10th-11th century BC, convinced
the researchers that they were dealing with the largest ancient
settlement in South Caucasus. And now the archaeologists have further
established the significance of the Didnauri site, as evidenced by the
discoveries of an entire water supply system, buildings specifically
created for ritualistic purposes, and a grave of ancient military
commander who had an arrowhead sticking to his thorax region.
