Summary/Abstract: The Polish archaeologist Stefan Krukowski stayed in Georgia from 1916 to 1918. During that time, apart from carrying out a comprehensive excavation in Gvarjilas Klde Cave, he also performed test digs in other Caucasian cave sites, the materials from which are still stored in the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi but have never been published. In this paper these inventories are analysed and presented as a side note to a recently published book on the results of Krukowski’s field research in Gvarjilas Klde.
