Resume. During the field archaeological season of 2020, The European University’s acad. Andria Aphakidze Institute of Archeology (funded by the European University) carried out field works in three areas: 1. fortified wall, found at the bottom of the artificial pond; 2. former settlement at the foot of the southern slope of the hill; 3. cemetery territory.

At the bottom of the artificial pond, the remains of 192 m. long wall section, one side of which borders one side of which borders the left bank of Okherakhevi (Tsintskara), built on the N-O axis, was revealed. In order to get a complete picture, along the entire length of the wall, three control trenches, parted by 10 m. distance each, were additionally made. By the mentioned trenches, not only the direction of the walls, but also the fact of the river flowing through the research area (most likely the defense complex) for a long time, was confirmed. This fact is proved by pebbles, sandstone and clay sediment 0.7-1.1 m upon the remaining surface of the wall.

As for the fortified wall on the southern bottom of formerly settled hill, it is 117m away from the first wall (parallel to it). In 2020, only a 90-meter long section was cleared, although it is clear that the wall should continue in the northern direction as well. The wall, on the south side, at a distance of approx.. 3 meters from the artificial ditch, divides into two parts: one section is directed to the S, and the other turns to the S-O. One can assume that this branch should go towards the first wall.

During the mentioned season of the cemetery works, 9 graves were revealed. The burial material was represented by ceramics, intended for the funeral feast, jewelry and weapons. The settlement’s cemetery, despite being damaged by natural or human factors, provides quite interesting material, which parallels with the historical monuments of Great Mtskheta and, in general, with the contemporary monuments of the Kingdom of Kartli, possible.
