The article deals with two hoards with axes from Georgia. The finds from Saqasria and Zeda Ilemi contained axes of the types Kozarac and Satchkhere, they can be dated to the first half of the 3rd millennium BC. A new 14C-date from a tomb in the Lysogorskaja-6 necropolis in the Stavropol district of the North Caucasus also speaks for this dating. Thus, the beginning of the deposition of hoards in West Georgia is much earlier than previously assumed. Not only the axes, but also the form in which they were deposited is the result of communication between the Carpathians and the Caucasus.
