From the first half of the 3rd to the first half of the 2nd millennium BC the following cultures were existing on the territory of the Southern Caucasus: the Kura-Araxes Culture, the Alazani-Bedeni and Samgori-Martkopi phases of the Early Kurgan Period, and the Trialeti Culture. In spite of the fact that the majority of researchers consider the Early Kurgan period as part of the Middle Bronze Age, the bronze weapons of this period take their origin from the Early Bronze Age. Considering typological and technical innovations, the Trialeti Culture differs from the previouscultures, although the chemical composition of the weapons is closer to that of the Early Kurgan Period, in particular to the Bedeni phase. Among the innovations of the Trialeti Culture we can name the blade and the rapier. Within the weapon assemblage of this period the most significant and obvious technical progress concerns spearheads, which from earlier specimens with a long tongue became socketed spearheads. During the Early Bronze Age and the Early Kurgan Period, local bronze weapon production was very similar in the northern and in the southern territories of the Southern Caucasus. It is very important to observe that Near Eastern and South Caucasian weapons of the same type often date to the same period. This is the result of very close relations between these two regions.

On the territory of South Caucasus, in the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes Culture sites, seals are one of the rarity finds. Nowadays their number amounts to not more than ten ones, (Talin, Kachaghbiur, Aranisi, Chobareti, Gudabertka). In this regard Gudabertka settlement, where four seals close to each other were found, is of special significance.
