Acknowledgements

    Thanks are due to the National Agency For Cultural Heritage Preservation of Georgia for granting us the permission to undertake archaeological investigations at Tsiteli Gorebi 5; to the Municipality of Lagodekhi for inviting us to work in the region and for facilitating out work in many ways, in particular by allowing us to use an old UAZ car for carrying out the regional survey. We would also like to thank Mindia Jalabadze and Giorgi Gogochuri for providing us with some difficult to access Georgian literature about Chalcolithic excavations in Georgia.
