ABSTRACT Pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs from two zoomorphic Kura-Araxes vessels (ca. 3000 b.c.) from Aradetis Orgora suggest they were utilized for the ritual consumption of wine and likely represent the beginning of the enduring tradition of animal-shaped wine-drinking containers in Georgia. This hypothesis is supported by archaeological and geoarchaeological data: they resemble later wine-containing vessels from Georgia and elsewhere and were found in a building whose context is suggestive of a small shrine. Their palynological spectra match those of present-day wine and wine containers of other periods. One of them was intact, with only a small access hole; consequently, its palynological spectrum can be utilized as a standard for determining the presence of wine in other archaeological vessels. Palynological analyses from different contexts of the Aradetis Orgora settlement and its cemetery (Doghlauri) yielded other significant results regarding the practice of viticulture and the cultural relevance of wine during the Kura-Araxes period.

Aradetis Orgora（乔治亚州，高加索）在库拉-阿拉克斯时代葡萄酒的礼仪和考古证据

摘要来自Aradetis Orgora的两个动物形态的Kura-Araxes容器（约公元前3000年）的花粉和非花粉类孢粉形态表明它们被用于仪式性的葡萄酒饮用，并可能代表了动物形的酒饮容器的悠久传统的开端。在格鲁吉亚。这个假设得到考古和地质考古数据的支持：它们类似于后来来自佐治亚州和其他地方的盛有葡萄酒的船只，并且发现在建筑物的背景中，该建筑物暗示着一座小型神社。它们的孢粉谱与当今时期的葡萄酒和其他时期的葡萄酒容器相匹配。其中一个完好无损，只有一个小孔；因此，其孢粉谱可以用作确定其他考古容器中葡萄酒存在的标准。
