- Description:
- To the southeast of Natsikhvarisgora runs the Shavi Ghele. East of the Shavi Ghele rises a stepped series of hills oriented north-south. To the east of this series of hills is a village called Gomnatekhebi, which means “Place of Broken Sherds.” Though this series of hills does not have a specific name, this record will refer to it as Gomnatekhebi as well. We drove south to a high point on this series of hills and walked north, down the hills and towards the main road. On the way, Sulkhan Karabadze found a large pottery sherd with a multirolled handle, which Guram Kvirkvelia identified as Roman or early Mediaeval. A man living in a 19th-century wooden house nearby reported to have found pithos fragments in the same area. All pottery collected from this area has been identified as Early Mediaeval.
