August 28-31, 2024: “Georgian Monasteries between invasion and resilience during Middle Ages”

As a continuation of the IIMAS research activities in the Republic of Georgia we have helped fund a research project conducted at the Borjomi Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God, Potoleti Church and Green Monastery. This research included a survey of the skeletal material discovered by Georgian anthropologists comprising a large number of human skulls and teeth; by analyzing the teeth and applying new methods a more precise age span could be determined. The flyer of the conference can be found at this link.
