One of the most important features of Kura-Araxe culture are the hearths and andirons that occur in each site.  Such kind of material is characteristic only for this culture. We see various types of andirons in all of the sites in the entire existence of the Kura-Araxe culture, regardless of changes in construction equipment.  This lecture seeks to define the functions of this material using the example of Inner Kartli. The presenter will try make a conclusion as to how they were used after this description of materials.

Davit Darejanashvili graduated from Tbilisi I. Javakhishvili State University in the Faculty of Humanities with a Bachelor’s Degree in Archeology.  He is currently pursuing his Master’s Degree in archaeology science at the same university. He is the founder of the NGO, “History Club” (http://geohistoryclub.blogspot.com/), and has taken part in numerous conferences and archeological expeditions.
