According to main characteristic features 8 types of spearheads were distinguished: 1. narrow-bladed (from 6 th to 3 rd c. BC.); 2. rhomboid-bladed (from 5 th to 3 rd c. BC., some examples existed in the 1 st c. BC.); 3. elongated triangular-bladed (from 5 th c. BC to 2 nd c. AD.); 4. with rounded shoulders (from 6 th-5 th cc. BC to 4 th c. AD.); 5. with rounded sides (mainly discovered in graves of west Georgia dating back to 6 th-4 th cc. BC.); 6. arrow-like were found in the burials of west Georgia dating to 5 th-4 th cc. BC.); 7. with stem (found at Sokhumi mt. graves # 4 and 9, (4 th-2 nd cc. BC.); 8. bayonet-like (5 th-3 rd cc. BC). Among battle axes 3 types are distinguished: 1. with a short, hammer like butt, oval hole for handle, prolonged blade with oval, asymmetrical, narrow cutting edge; 2. with a short, hammer-like butt, an oval hole for handle, the outlined shoulder for a handle, narrow neck, wide, asymmetrical, or symmetrical cutting edge; 3. "Bearded" battle-axes, which have long, distinctly outlined, or sometimes slightly noticeable, tubular socket for a shaft. The wide, assymetrical cutting edge expands to the lower corner .

Tsiva on the territory of the village of Kulevi, Khobi municipality, was studied in 1945 by the archaeological expedition of Colchis (Institute of History, Academy of Sciences of Georgia) led by Nino Khoshtaria. One important artifact found there is the fragmentally preserved wooden vessel, which does not have any parallels neither in the archaeological material of the Bronze-Iron Ages and Classical period of Colchis, nor in any other archaeological cultures. The wooden vessel discovered at Tsivi settlement could be the wine drinking vessel Kula, which was used for special purposes. Our opinion is strengthened by the wooden vessel of the same shape and designation preserved in Georgian ethnographic reality as well as the cultural grape (Vitis vinifera) seeds discovered at the settlement. Supposedly, wooden vessel of Tsivi settlement should be dated to the 8-7 centuries BC.
