Abstract
This paper presents the results of the multidisciplinary study carried out at the Damirgaya rock art site located in Georgia, southern Caucasus. The research has aimed to conduct archaeological excavation and obtain contextual data based on multidisciplinary investigations including geology, photogrammetry, digital image enhancement, archaeological survey of the surrounding landscape, etc. Archaeological excavation has demonstrated that the shelter does not include any in situ layers, although some interactions are still observed. Detailed examination of the paintings has revealed almost 70 paintings in contrast with the previously reported 20 due to limited access to the site in the past. Zoomorphic, geometric, and anthropomorphic motifs, excluding modern graffiti, represent Schematic rock art and based on regional comparisons and a small number of lithic tools, are suggested to belong to the prehistoric period, but more reliable dating is required.
