Join Us in Exploring Humanity’s Ancient Origins in Georgia

At Past to Present Archaeology, we’ve teamed up with Historic World Georgia and Ilia State University to uncover the story of early human migration, adaptation, and culture in the Southern Caucasus. Our research explores the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition and delves into the connections between European and Levantine cultural traditions seen in this region. Over the next decade, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey as we trace the development of modern human behaviour, unearth symbolic artefacts, and reveal the influence of this crossroads on early humans.

Support Our Mission to Uncover Georgia’s Ancient Heritage

Our projects are essential for preserving and interpreting Georgia’s rich cultural landscape. By working with local institutions, we raise awareness of these significant sites, promote tourism, and support educational opportunities across the region. Your involvement helps sustain this mission, whether by actively participating or supporting our work from afar as a Season Member. Together, we can answer key questions about human origins and our ancestors’ ways of life.
