Trialeti culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trialeti culture attributed to the first part of the 2nd millennium B.C.[1] In late 3rd millennium B.C. the Kura-Araxes culture settlements began to be replaced by early Trialeti culture sites.[2] Trialeti culture was the second culture in the Caucasus, after the Kura-Araxes culture.[3] Trialeti culture shows close ties with the highly-developed cultures of the ancient world, particularly with the Aegean.[4]
Trialeti culture was known for its particular form of burial.[5] The elite were interred in large, very rich burials under earth and stone mounds, which sometimes contained four-wheeled carts.[6] Also there were many gold objects found in the graves.[7] This golds were similar to that found in Iran and Iraq.[8]
