Ancient Settlement in Georgia
Taken from the old Pichvarni homepage (see the link below):
'Pichvnari lies on the Black sea coast of Georgia, at the confluence of the Choloki and Ochkhamuri rivers some 10 Km to the north of the seaside resort of Kubuleti. It was the site of an earlier Cholchian settlement occupied by Greek traders from the mid 5th century BC. Pichvnari means 'Place of the Pine-trees' in Georgian. Its name in antiquity is unknown. First recognised in modern times from coin hoards, the site has been studied since the 1960s by Georgian archaeologists from the north Berdzenishvili Batumi Research Institute.'
Please find a link to the old website hosted by the later joint research team with the Ashmolean Museum.
Pichvnari now seems to be abandoned and overgrown with no study being carried out since 2009 by the joint international team.
