4,000-Year-Old Burial with Chariots Discovered in South Caucasus

An ancient burial containing chariots, gold artifacts and possible human sacrifices has been discovered by archaeologists in the country of Georgia, in the south Caucasus.

The burial site, which would've been intended for a chief, dates back over 4,000 years to a time archaeologists call the Early Bronze Age, said Zurab Makharadze, head of the Centre of Archaeology at the Georgian National Museum.

Archaeologists discoveredthe timber burial chamber within a 39-foot-high (12 meters) mound called a kurgan. When the archaeologists reached the chamber they found an assortment of treasures, including two chariots, each with four wooden wheels. [See Images of the Burial Chamber & Chariots]

The team discovered ornamented clay and wooden vessels, flint and obsidian arrowheads, leather and textile artifacts, a unique wooden armchair, carnelian and amber beads and 23 golden artifacts, including rare and artistic crafted jewelry, wrote Makharadze in the summary of a presentation he gave recently at the International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East, held at the University of Basel in Switzerland.

"In the burial chamber were placed two four-wheeled chariots, both in good condition, [the] design of which represents fine ornamental details of various styles," Makharadze wrote. Thechamber also contained wild fruits, he added.

While the human remains had been disturbed by a robbery, which probably occurred in ancient times, and were in a disordered position, the archaeologists found that seven people were buried in the chamber. "One of them was a chief and others should be the members of his family, sacrificed slaves or servants," Makharadze told Live Science in an email.

A time before the horse

The burial dates back to a time before domesticated horsesappeared in the area, Makharadze said. While no animals were found buried with the chariots, he said, oxen would have pulled them.

Other rich kurgan burials dating to the second half of the third millennium B.C. have also been found in the south Caucasus,said Makharadze in another paper he presented in February at the College de France in Paris. The appearance of these rich burials appears to be connected to interactions that occurred between nomadic people from the Eurasian steppes and farming communities within and near the south Caucasus, Makharadze said.

These interactions appear to have led to some individuals, like this chief, getting elaborate burials. The newly discovered armchair symbolizes the power that individuals like the chief had. "The purpose of the wooden armchair was the indication to power, and it was put in the kurgan as a symbol of power," Makharadze said in the email.

The kurgan was found in eastern Georgia near the municipality of Lagodekhi and was excavated in 2012.

一个古老的墓葬含战车，黄金文物和可能的人类的牺牲已经发现了考古学家在格鲁吉亚的国家，在南高加索。
埋葬地点，这将一直打算为首席，可以追溯到4000年的一个时间考古学家称之为青铜时代早期，说祖拉布Makharadze，考古中心的负责人在格鲁吉亚国家博物馆。

发现装饰粘土和木船，燧石和黑曜石箭头，皮革和纺织品文物，一个独特的木制扶手椅，玛瑙和琥珀珠和23黄金文物，其中包括罕见和艺术制作的首饰队，在演示文稿中他给的总结中写道：Makharadze最近在国际会议上古代近东的考古，在瑞士巴塞尔大学举行。
“在墓室被置于两个四轮战车，无论是在良好的条件下，[在]的设计，代表各种风格的精致装饰的细节，”Makharadze写道。 Thechamber也包含野果，他补充说。
虽然人类遗骸已被扰乱了抢劫，这可能发生在远古时代，并且是在一个无序的位置，考古人员发现，七人被埋在室内。 “其中一人是一名行政和其他人应该是他的家庭成员，牺牲奴隶或仆人，”Makharadze告诉现场科学在一封电子邮件。
一时间前马
埋葬的历史可以追溯到前驯化horsesappeared在该地区的时间，Makharadze说。虽然没有发现动物陪葬的战车，他说，牛会拉他们。
其他丰富的库尔干墓葬年代为公元前第三个千年的下半年也已在南高加索发现，说Makharadze在他提出在二月份在法兰西学院在巴黎的另一篇论文。这些丰富的墓葬的外观似乎连接到从内部和附近的南高加索欧亚草原和农业社区游牧人之间发生的相互作用，Makharadze说。
这些相互作用似乎已经导致了一些人，像这样长，越来越复杂的墓葬。新发现的扶手椅象征，像主要个人有权力。 “木扶手椅的目的是指示电源，它被放置在库尔干作为权力的象征，”Makharadze在电子邮件中说。
库尔干被发现在格鲁吉亚东部附近Lagodekhi直辖市和被挖掘于2012年。
