Résumé en anglais

More than two decades have passed since a much damaged cultural layer of the Early Husbandry Culture settlement had been discovered during the excavations of the Late Bronze necropolis and burial of the Middle Bronze Age at the place Parekhebi of the village of Sioni (Marneuli district) in Eastern Georgia.
The monument was attributed to the third and the latest stage of the Shulaveri-Shomutepe Culture, i. e. it was dated to the end of the 5th – first half of the 4th millennia B.C.
The main archaeological complex comprised pottery similar to the "Odishi-type" earthenware belonging to the Late Neolithic Western Georgian Culture, and stone tools revealing close affinities with the cited culture. The principal elements of the stone industry are numerous microliths in geometric shapes - trapezia, segments and high trapezia with a chipped back.
Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, these objects were not published along with the main complex. The recording of the imperfect archaeological monument in the special references, has caused erroneous dating of the whole copmlex, as well as the other monuments akin to the later , both, chronologically and culturally. As a result, the Sioni complex was defined as a monument of a comparably later period. On the grounds of additional relative-typological analysis, with involvement of the missing elements, new dating is suggested and consequently, the cited archaeological monument is attributed to the final stage of the Late Bronze Age Culture of Eastern Georgia.
