  • The survey team investigated the area around Zeda Bzvani on 24 June 2009 and returned on 14 July 2010 to carry out intensive survey on the southwest slope of Meskhebis Gora (A053), a hill on the eastern edge of Zeda Bzvani. We identified four points of interest.
Description
  • The agricultural fields on the southwest slope of the hill crowned by a Mediaeval fortress on the eastern edge of Zeda Bzvani (Meskhebisgora, A052) are rich in surface pottery, including Classical pithos fragments, Sinopian ware, and late Hellenistic ware.
