A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - The Trialeti Culture is named after the Trialeti plateau region of Georgia. Excavations conducted decades ago in the Trialeti region revealed rich burial mounds dated from 2100 to 1500 BC and containing gold and silver objects.
Remarkable archaeological finds showed that the region was inhabited by cattle-raising tribes, whose chieftains were powerful and wealthy; others were skilled metalworkers, making beautiful jewelry from gold and silver.
The Trialeti Culture appeared after the earlier culture of Kura-Araxes that existed from 3400 BC until about 2000 BC and was also known for their decorative ceramics and the bronze smelting technology in the mid-fourth millennium BC.
Both these traditions were successfully continued by the Trialeti people.
