Despite some high-profile exceptions, the archaeology of theSouth Caucasus (present-day Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan)remains marginalised and often overlooked - not receiving the widerexposure it deserves. This situation is partly a consequence ofdecades of occupation and academic isolation, and partly because ofan unfortunate (and incorrect) perception that the South Caucasusis simply peripheral to the archaeologies of Europe and Asia.</p><p>The chapters collected in this volume demonstrate the diversityand vibrancy of international research collaboration in thearchaeology of Georgia, while all underline the enormous potentialof the country's archaeological resource. The importance of seeingthe South Caucasus in its unique context, rather than as peripheralto Europe or Asia, is evident throughout. The increasingapplication of scientific techniques to archaeological research andlandscape archaeology features prominently in many of thesechapters. However, the key element is the multidisciplinary natureof much of the work, which allows specialists drawn from a widerange of backgrounds and scholarly traditions to contribute to thebetter understanding and appreciation of the Georgian historicenvironment.
