- Description:
- Chaisgora is the middle of three hills located just south of the modern village of Dapnari that formed the foci of excavations carried out from 1967 through 1973: Dapnisgora (A003, A004, A006), Chaisgora, and Tsqvetiligora (A007). Together they form a series of stepped hills oriented northwest-southeast that rise up to the south from the Phasis River plain. Excavations on Chaisgora were carried out in the middle terrace of the north slope of the hill at a place known as “Ernali” and on the south slope of the hill on the border of a tea plantation. Traces of buildings were also found on the west slope, and portion of the hill at the east end of the modern village was explored with soundings, three of which were then integrated into one of the trenches. Evidence of settlement from the 6th-3rd centuries B.C. was found on all three hills, but only on Chaisgora were the remains of actual structures identified. Trench 1 in the “Ernali” area of the north hillslope contained burnt daub, materials the excavator identified as adobe bricks, local table- and kitchenware, and imported pottery, including a single fragment of an Attic black-glazed “salt dish” (5th-4th centuries); pieces of Chian (5th century), Thassian (5th-4th centuries), and Sinopean (4th-3rd centuries) amphorae; and a Rhodian amphora handle stamped with the priest eponym “ΚΑΡΠΟΥ”. On the south slope of the hill, in Trench 2, the excavations revealed irregular pieces of burnt daub, the charcoaled traces of slim wooden beams used as wattle, and misshapen, weakly baked materials identified as adobe bricks. These remains, which covered an area of about 12 sq m, were too fragmentary to allow the reconstruction of a building plan. Under the building remains were found a stone mill, a fragment of a stone pan, a whetstone, iron tools for such uses as leatherworking, and local table- and kitchenware, all from 5th-4th centuries. Similar building remains were also identified on the west hillslope of Chaisgora, and a rich assemblage of materials was discovered as surface finds on the east parts of the hill, including, for example, burnt daub, stone mills, and pithoi fragments. The only two burials found outside of Dapnisgora were located on Chaisgora, one on the very steep west slope and the other on the northwest slope, dating to the Hellenistic period. In the terrace of Chaisgora, the survey team recorded extensive traces of burnt mud plaster embedded in the earth as well as pottery fragments, including Sinopian amphorae. The terrace takes its name from numerous tea bushes planted here in the Soviet period.

- Description:
- The north side of the hill east of Dapnisgora is crowned by a house or rustic church marked by a large wooden cross. In this area, the hill slopes gently to the north and northeast in a series of terraces facing the Phasis River valley. On the northeastern terrace, a bronze bull figurine and an alabaster elephant figurine had reportedly been found and sold to antiquities dealers. Farther down the hill, on the northern terrace, a number of pithos graves had been unearthed. Chunks of vitrified mud plaster, possibly ancient, are strewn across the terraces above this apparent necropolis.

- Description:
- Dapnisgora is the westernmost of three hills located just south of the modern village of Dapnari that formed the foci of excavations carried out from 1967 through 1973: Dapnisgora, Chaisgora (A005), and Tsqvetiligora (A007). Together they form a series of stepped hills oriented northwest-southeast that rise up to the south from the Phasis River plain. Excavations on Dapnisgora were conducted on the middle terrace of the northwest slope of the hill (A003, where pottery continues to be discovered), farther to the west, and on the south slope. Evidence of settlement from the 6th to 3rd centuries B.C. was found on all three hills. Mixed cultural materials, including a curved iron knife and an iron axe, Hellenistic pottery such as a black-glazed kylix fragment (4th-3rd century B.C.), and Colchian pottery possibly as early as the 6th-4th centuries B.C., were found on the northwest slope of Dapnis Gora (Trench 1). In addition to traces of occupation spread among all three hills, pithos graves covered almost the entire hill of Dapnisgora, interred singly or in clusters, and dating to the 4th-2nd centuries. Almost all of the pithos burials were placed vertically, usually with the mouth at the bottom. The grave goods usually included between one and four clay vessels, jewelry, and sometimes coins. Rather than forming a single large cemetery of a size otherwise undocumented, these burials were more likely associated with individual homesteads situated across the hill. More recent discoveries of a significant amount of pottery, including Hellenistic roof-tiles and amphora fragments, on the southwest slopes of Dapnisgora during informal surveys by S. Kharabadze and by the Vani Regional Survey project support this interpretation. Kighuradze pictured such wattle-and-daub houses scattered widely across the hillslopes, situated some distance from each other on artificial or natural terraces and surrounded by garden-plots, a situation she compared to the modern settlement pattern of the region.
