Shulaveri-Shomu Neolithic communities

Shulaveris Gora / შულავერის გორა

Mudbrick buildings, plant and animal remains, tools, storage, pottery, and residue evidence illuminate early farming communities and varied connections in southern Caucasus lowlands.

Neolithic archaeological-classification, farming, household, craft, and regional-network context Approximately sixth millennium BCE, with site-specific chronologies Settlement stratigraphy, circular mudbrick architecture, botanical and faunal remains, pottery, stone and bone tools, radiocarbon dating, residues, and regional comparison Shulaveris Gora settlement mound; an orientation site within a wider archaeological distribution, not an ethnic capital or territorial boundary
概览

Evidence, landscapes, community scale, political organization, and connections

Mountain, river, Black Sea, Caspian, Anatolian, Iranian, and steppe connections

River plains, soils, rainfall, crops, herds, wild resources, clay, stone, and routes between highlands and lowlands shaped local settlements.

Political organization and community scale

Households coordinated construction, farming, herding, storage, food preparation, and craft. Evidence does not establish one centralized Shulaveri-Shomu state.

Late-antique transformation, living heritage, and modern reception

Archaeological authorities across modern borders steward related sites. The classification cannot determine modern national priority, ethnicity, ancestry, or descent.

Primary classification Shulaveri-Shomu

A scholarly grouping of related but variable sites, not a people-name.

Current archaeology [S2] [S3]
Built environment circular mudbrick structures

Building arrangements and uses varied by phase and site.

Excavated evidence [S2] [S3]
Subsistence farming, herding, and wild-resource use

Household practice cannot be reduced to a single agricultural transition model.

历史序列

简洁、来源化的时间表

这些里程碑是指向点,而不是完整的历史.

  1. Farming settlements expand

    Communities built mudbrick structures and combined crops, herds, gathering, hunting, storage, and craft.

  2. Local settlement sequences diversify

    Architecture, pottery, tools, plants, and animals varied across sites rather than forming one uniform package.

  3. Regional material patterns change

    Settlement and craft traditions shifted through local development and wider contacts, not a demonstrated single replacement event.

  4. Excavation and laboratory study refine interpretation

    Dating, archaeobotany, zooarchaeology, and residue analysis expanded evidence beyond pottery typology.

文化和语言

Households, subsistence, labor, language, belief, craft, exchange, and mobility

本简介中命名的语言

  • No deciphered written language evidence
  • Architecture and pottery cannot assign spoken language

语言家庭: Unknown from archaeological evidence

Circular mudbrick structures preserve household-scale planning and repair.

Plant and animal evidence documents farming alongside local ecological use.

Early wine interpretations rely on residue and contextual analysis, not modern national ownership.

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.
