Dzudzuana Cave and Upper Paleolithic communities
Dzudzuana Cave / ძუძუანას მღვიმე
Layered occupations, stone and bone tools, ornaments, fauna, plant fibers, pigments, and environmental evidence illuminate repeated cave use and skilled work in the western Caucasus.
Evidencias, paisajes, escala comunitaria, organización política y conexiones
Conexiones montañosas, fluviales, del mar Negro, del Caspio, anatolias, iranias y esteparias
Caves, forests, river valleys, animals, plants, stone sources, seasonality, and climatic shifts supported repeated use and wider mobility.
Organización política y escala comunitaria
Small mobile groups organized food, shelter, toolmaking, fiber work, ornament use, and seasonal movement; the cave does not disclose one formal government.
Transformación en la Antigüedad tardía, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna
The cave forms part of Georgia's archaeological heritage. Its evidence cannot establish modern ethnic identity, cultural ownership, descent, or personal ancestry.
Separate layers and gaps require phase-specific interpretation.
Their survival reveals perishable work that is usually archaeologically invisible.
Artifacts and fibers cannot independently establish language, ethnicity, or direct continuity.

Microscopic flax fibers preserve unusually fragile evidence for fiber working.
Tools, ornaments, and fauna show changing activities across several occupations.
Cave preservation is selective and cannot represent all regional communities.
Elite graves, fortresses, royal inscriptions, churches, palaces, imported objects, and state heritage narratives are often more visible than households, women, children, farmers, herders, fishers, craftspeople, migrants, captives, enslaved or coerced people, and rural communities. Evidence gaps must not be filled with evolutionary hierarchy, ethnic purity, foreign-founder, empty-land, lost-civilization, or simple population-replacement narratives.
