- Description:
- The datasets associated with this deposit are micro-CT data. These data were generated to be better understand how diffusion iodine contrast enhanced (diceCT) CT scanning can differ amongst major groups of vertebrates. This study stained fish, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians with either H20-Lugol's iodine or Ethylic-Lugol's iodine and measured the differences in the resulting stained soft tissue contrast levels and iodine uptake.

- Description:
- The Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains near Boulder, CO contains a rock record that spans nearly 1.7 billion years. Zircon U-Pb geochronology is an isotopically-based chronometer for measuring deep earth time. We apply this method to a series of small igneous intrusive bodies from the Front Range west of Boulder, CO. These instrusives are collectively known as the Colorado Mineral Belt (CMB) for the economic mineral deposits associated with the instrusives. Past geochronological methods have provided only rudimentary constraints on the geologic timing of emplacement of these bodies. We demonstrate the CMB magmatic activity in the Front Range occurred in two discrete pulses, one at ~67 Ma (million years ago) and one at ~47 Ma. Additional application of the same methodology to a sedimentary rock, the Neoproterozoic Tavakiav Quartzite, uses the zircon U-Pb ages as tracers to constrain the provenance and depositional age of this unique sand body.

- Description:
- The Mediaeval citadel at Zeda Tsikhesulori occupies the north end of the top of a hill called Natsikharigora just a few degrees south of due west of Vani, 0.75 km as the crow flies from the ancient site, and at an elevation of 207 masl. The fortress consists of a triangular enclosure wall, two sections of which survive, with a square tower attached at the southeast corner. Where measured, the wall is approximately 1.2 m thick and is built of irregular and roughly squared sand- or mudstone blocks with an occasional large cobble set in coarse lime mortar. The average height of the courses is 0.2 m. The slopes of the hill on which the fortification stands fall away steeply on all sides except on the east, where there is a gently sloping cornfield littered with pottery. In the area of the cornfield, one fragment of a large Colchian pithos was found. A large Mediaeval pithos was noted in situ at the north end of the fortification. Previous excavations in this area during the 1970s identified Hellenistic pottery and tiles, as well as material from the Mediaeval period.

- Description:
- The modern village of Zeda Tsikhesulori lies approximately 0.75 km as the crow flies west of the ancient site of Vani at 200 masl, and approximately twice that distance by road. It is located in the Vani administrative district. At the east edge of the modern settlement lies a hill called Natsikharigora, which is crowned by a masonry fortress; the east slope of the hill is covered by a cornfield containing ancient pottery (B004).

- Description:
- On the southwestern edge of Zeda Gora is located a hill called Natsikhvarisgora. On the northeast slope of the hill, in a recent road cut, Sulkhan Kharabadze found a bronze hoe dated to the 8th-7th century B.C., and reported finding Classical materials as well. Pottery (including a Colchian amphora toe) and many fragments of burnt mud plaster have also been recorded by Sulkhan Kharabadze on the top of the hill, as well as on its northern and southern slopes.

- Description:
- On the southwestern edge of Zeda Gora lies a hill known as Natsikhvarisgora, with the remains of a fortress called Natatralitsike on its summit. The fortress consists of a rectangular structure or enclosure on the top of the hill, with a well preserved tower including an interior postern at its southwest corner (the northwest corner of the fortress is curved on the exterior). There is a gate on the south side of the enclosure, and there are two preserved windows on the north side. In the center of the enclosure are the poorly reserved remains of some kind of interior structure or keep. The lower parts of the walls of the fortress are built of large ashlar foundation blocks, about 0.7 m wide by 0.5 m high, topped by rubble masonry with smaller, irregularly shaped stones widely ranging in size, set in hard white mortar. In most places, even this upper facing has been removed, exposing the mortared rubble core of the walls. The walls are roughly 2.5 m thick, while the preserved height of one of the standing segments is 5.1 m.

- Description:
- On the northern slope of Gachechiladzeebis Ubani, a hill on the northwestern edge of Zeda Gora, a Roman pit grave was excavated by Sulkhan Kharabadze in an agricultural plot owned by Paata Gachechiladze. The grave was exposed when the owner cut into the hillslope to create a terrace for growing tomatoes. It is dated to the 1st-3rd century A.D. by its grave goods, which included an iron sword, a number of iron arrowheads, an iron axe, a bronze bracelet, and a ceramic jug and phiale.

- Description:
- The modern settlement of Zeda Gora lies 15 km southeast of Vani, and 3.5 km south of the main east-west road on the south side of the Phasis River plain. It is located in the Vani administrative district. It is nestled in the foothills of the Lesser Caucasus, south of the long, low terrace that overlooks the Phasis River plain east of Vani. On the southwestern edge of the settlement is located a hill called Natsikhvarisgora, with remains of an Iron Age settlement on its eastern slope (A064) and of a fortress called Natatralitsike on its summit (A065). In addition, a Roman pit grave was excavated on the northern slope of a hill in the northwestern part of the village (A066).
