Sakdrisi

Sakdrisi, also known as the Sakdrisi-Kachagiani site, is a gold mine and an archaeological site, containing a prehistoric mine, in Georgia, in the south of the country's Kvemo Kartli region, located between the Neolithic site of Arukhlo and the Paleolithic site of Dmanisi [1]. From 2004 to 2011, a group of Georgian and German scientists carried out large-scale investigations and dated the site to the early 3rd millennium BC or to the second half of the 4th millennium, suggesting that Sakdrisi might be one of the world's oldest known gold mines [1]. The archaeological findings from Sakdrisi now are displayed in the Bolnisi Museum [1].
