The aim of the present paper is to analyze the particular political and social process which began in the lands south of the main Caucasus range at the end of the Late Bronze Age and continued and strengthened during the following Iron Age. This process was characterized by the marked militarization of the society, which involved many related aspects, not just the political system but also social life and organization. The following pages will be dedicated to an analysis of some well-defined aspects, such as the organization of the human landscape, architecture, funerary customs, arts, politics and economy. Emphasis will be placed on how these were affected by this process of militarization and the main features of the latter will be described.

社会的军事化：铁器时代早期的高加索地区的例子

本文的目的是分析特定的政治和社会过程，该过程始于青铜时代晚期末期在主要高加索山脉以南的土地，并在随后的铁器时代延续并得到了加强。这个过程的特征是社会明显的军事化，它涉及许多相关方面，不仅涉及政治体系，而且涉及社会生活和组织。以下几页将专门分析一些明确定义的方面，例如人文景观，建筑，丧葬习俗，艺术，政治和经济的组织。将重点介绍这些因素如何受到军事化进程的影响，并将描述后者的主要特征。
