Archaeologists unearth 10th-century trove during roadworks in Georgia’s capital
- Roadworks that may have frustrated residents have yielded an archaeological prize: a cache of 10th-century pottery among the oldest medieval works ever found in the Georgian capital.
- The works on Rustaveli Avenue, Tbilisi's stately central boulevard, began this summer to add pedestrian crossings, improve signage and make other upgrades.
- The project has brought traffic chaos and drawn complaints from residents, who must now navigate gaping holes and crushed brick on their daily walks, but it has also given archaeologists a rare glimpse into Tbilisi's past.
