Story summary

Workers renovating Rustaveli Avenue, a major thoroughfare in Tbilisi (the capital city of Georgia), discovered ancient pottery dating back approximately 1,000 years. The artifacts were found buried about 20 feet below ground level and include intricately decorated fragments and jugs from workshops active during that period. This discovery is not surprising given Tbilisi's rich archaeological history as a multicultural crossroads for cultures and commerce.

The roadwork is part of an ongoing project to upgrade Rustaveli Avenue with new pedestrian crossings, improved signage, and other enhancements. The director of the Georgian National Museum, David Lordkipanidze, noted that Tbilisi has been ruled by various powers over its long history, including Arabs during the Middle Ages when it served as an important stop along the Silk Road.

Further studies using techniques like 3D scanning will help researchers more accurately determine the exact age and significance of these artifacts.
