  • The survey team visited the area around Sajavakho on 17 June 2009. In the hills southeast of the town, we noted several points of interest.
Description
  • The modern village of Sajavakho lies 18 km west of Vani on the main east-west road south of the Phasis River, where the level river plain meets the foothills of the Lesser Caucasus. It is located in the Samtredia administrative district. The area of Sajavakho includes: the modern town; the hills around the town; a portion of the river plain between the main road and the Phasis River, near the confluence of the Phasis and Tskhenistsqali Rivers, locally known as “Port”; and a subordinate village called Nigorzghva southeast of Sajavakho (A018). In the hills southeast of the town, we identified the following points of interest: a sherd scatter on a hillside transversed by the Baku-Supsa pipeline (A009), and another sherd scatter on a cornfield located across a small stream at the base of this hill (A010). We observed no archaeological remains in the agricultural fields that blanket the area of the flat river plain north of Sajavakho called Port. Two points of interest were recorded southeast of Sajavakho along a small stream and parallel road near the modern hamlet of Nigorzghva (A018): a sherd scatter around a modern gravel quarry (A011) and a reported pithos burial (A012).
