Paul Everill
I worked in commercial, developer-led archaeology in Britain and Ireland for a number of years before returning to academia and completing my doctoral thesis, which was a combined quantitative and qualitative study of British commercial archaeology - specifically the motivations and perceptions of those employed in that sector. I now teach at the University of Winchester, specialising particularly in 'applied' archaeological techniques and the history and development of fieldwork and the commercial sector.

historical sources, and known as Tsikhegoji or ‘the triple-walled fortress’ by the Georgian chroniclers.
The 40th season of excavation took place in 2015, part of an on-going collaboration between the Anglo-Georgian Expedition to Nokalakevi, established in 2001, and the S. Janashia Museum expedition to Nokalakevi, which started work on the site in 1973. The fortifications enclose a naturally defensible area of approximately 20ha, with a steep limestone river gorge to the north, west and (to a lesser extent) the south, and a hilltop citadel standing more than 200m above the lower town. The site has seen human activity since at least the 8th century BC, with
indications of a much earlier presence in the area. This paper seeks to outline the key results of the 40 seasons of excavation, against the backdrop of the shifting political landscape of Georgia.
analysis of standing remains and the relative dating of deposits based on the study of ceramics. Since 2013, the Anglo-Georgian Expedition to Nokalakevi has collected a diverse dataset derived from multiple scientific techniques including optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of ceramics, radiocarbon dating, δ13C and δ15N analysis and 87Sr/86Sr analysis. The full results of these analyses are reported here for the first time along with implications for the interpretation of the archaeology, which include greater detail in the site chronology but also indicators of diet and migration.

This session will showcase examples of collaborative working in the South Caucasus, projects which have enabled a sharing of ideas and scholarly traditions, helping to develop new methodologies, and bringing new technology and scientific advances to bear on regional archaeological debates. This session is a celebration of both the archaeology of the South Caucasus, and of the power of scholarly cooperation to bridge divides and widen horizons.
