    <abstract>Our ongoing research in the caves of Western Georgia focuses on the settlement 
and subsistence behaviors of Neanderthals and Modern Humans. Specifically we 
are interested in understanding what Neanderthals and Modern Humans ate, how 
they acquired their foods, what kind of tools they made, how they moved around 
the landscape, and what their social relations were like. We are also interested in 
learning the nature of any contacts between these two culturally and biolologically 
different populations during the critical period about 40000 years ago when Modern 
humans entered the Southern Caucasus and local Neanderthal population began to 
disappear.
In this article we deal with three Upper Paleolithic cave sites which are located in 
Upper Imereti region just in few km from each other (4-8 km). These are well-known 
sites - Ortvala Klde, Dzudzuana Cave and newly found Bondi Cave.
34
The landscape where these caves are situated are the similar. All of them are 
located in parreallel gorges. The distance between the gorges is 4-8 km. According 
to pollen analysis and obtained datings the environment around these caves was the 
simillar.
The inhabitants of Dzudzuana and Bondi caves were hunting mostly on bisons
and equses. In the same time the Neandrthals and the Modern humans of Ortvala 
Klde traditionally were extracting the Capra caucasuica(95%). 
The industry of Bondi and Dzudzuana cave are more or less simmilar but there 
are differences-the microliths are dominated in the material of Dzudzuana. The blade 
and bladelet oriented technology are represented in both sites.
The blade technology is represented in Ortvala Klde as well, but there are some 
orignacian features which are better represented in this cave than in other above 
mentioned sites. 
Co-exsistance of orignacian and gravettian features is one of the charachters of 
Upper Paleolithic of Western Georgia.
In Bondi and Dzudzuana caves there were discovered the most ancient flax and 
coloured fibers dated from 35000-34000.
Perhaps the differences between those contemprorary sites can be explained by 
different economical activities of different groups, or by distribution of the habitat 
areas between them.</abstract>
