Fieldwork

Over the past dozen years, we have conducted research in five regions of western Georgia, namely, Svaneti and Mingrelia (Samegrelo), Guria, Adjara and Samtskhe-Javakheti. In the associated pages, we describe the anthropological genetics work completed in each region and explore the implications of our findings for the history of Georgia and the Caucasus more broadly.
