The Principles of Interior Organization (A Kitchen in the middle ages of the 1st millennium B.C.)

The present work is an attempt of analyzing the kitchen excavated on Grakliani Gora in 2014. The analysis consits of a detailed description of ceramics found in this area and also trying to find its analogies. Furthermore, the work looks at arrangement of the oven excavated on the territory of the kitchen and provides its comparison to the earliest ovens. Kitchen areas excavated both in the western world (Olynthus, Lefkada) and in the eastern world (Gonur Depe) are used for the research of kitchens and other agricultural dwellings as part of an interior. This is an attempt to determine the cultural affiliation of the kitchen found on Grakliani Gora. Given the fact that there are no such separated kitchen areas found among the sites on the territory of Georgia, this work will give us a basic knowledge to interpret future findings.
