Before the advent of steam power and railroads, rivers acted as important highways for trade and transport, allowing for considerable reductions in the time spent moving people and goods inland from the coast. However, ancient written sources provide little information about how this transport was conducted in fluvial systems of local or regional significance, focusing instead on major rivers like the Nile or the Tiber. A good example of this is the Rioni River (known in ancient literature as the Phasis) in western Georgia, which functioned as a crucial route for communication and trade throughout history. Travel reports from 16th to 19th century describe in detail the navigation of this river. This contribution aims to use these sources to provide perspectives on how such a fluvial network might have functioned in antiquity. In addition to suggesting that a transport network must have needed a closely‐knit set of river stations to operate, the examination of these sources has important implications for the approach of archeologists to the study of anthropogenic activities in this riverine environment. It calls for a research methodology that goes beyond the site‐based approach currently followed by modern scholarship and explores riverine settlement patterns from a landscape and network perspective.

里约尼西部格鲁吉亚的定居网络和河流导航。从Strabo到Jean-FrançoisGamba，然后再返回
在蒸汽动力和铁路出现之前，河流已成为贸易和运输的重要公路，大大减少了从海岸向内陆运送人员和货物所花费的时间。但是，古老的书面资料很少提供有关在局部或区域重要的河流系统中如何进行这种运输的信息，而是集中在尼罗河或台伯河等主要河流上。一个很好的例子是佐治亚州西部的里奥尼河（Rioni River）（在古代文学中称为Phasis），它是整个历史上交流和贸易的重要途径。16至19世纪的旅行报告详细描述了这条河的航行。该贡献旨在利用这些资源来提供关于这样一个河流网络如何在古代发挥作用的观点。除了暗示运输网络必须要有一套紧密相连的河站才能运作之外，对这些水源的检查对考古学家研究这种河流环境中人为活动的方法也具有重要意义。它要求一种研究方法，该方法应超越当前由现代学者所遵循的基于站点的方法，并从景观和网络的角度探索河流的聚落模式。
