This discovery is of particular significance as it represents the first well-preserved, large-sized tomb from the Middle Bronze Age, dating back around 3,800 years ago, found in the Shida Kartli region.

Archaeologists suggest that the tomb likely belonged to a prominent member of the tribe, possibly a chief, based on the artifacts discovered within.

The archaeological excavation was led by Giorgi Mimdiashili, an archaeologist from Gori University and the National Museum, along with the participation of Gori University students.

The project took place in two stages and was funded by the Ministry of Culture and Gori City Hall.
