Abstract

The paper presents the results of archaeological research conducted between 2018 and 2022 in the area surrounding Lake Paravani. Approximately 200 archaeological objects were identified, and more than 30,000 hectares were studied through remote methods. A GIS database was created, including orthophotos, digital elevation models, and precise locations of sites. Based on the collected data, maps were produced showing settlements and burial sites. The study applies non-invasive and interdisciplinary approaches and aims to contribute to the reconstruction of the region’s historical-geographical landscape and paleoenvironment.
