Abstract

This paper focuses on the selection and dating of ceramic materials from the Areshi settlement, discovered between 1973 and 1982, which are attributed to the Early Middle Ages. The settlement is located in the Kvareli Municipality, on the upper reaches of the Areshi River, in the area of the modern village of Mtisdziri. The study presents 49 fragments, including jars, pots, and bowls, documented photographically. Dating is based on morphological features, clay composition, and surface treatment. Parallel materials are also considered, providing insight into the local and regional context of Early Medieval ceramics.
