In the township of Rustavi, archeologists discovered the headless skeleton of a young girl, clutching a battle axe. Her faithful dog lay by her side: the girl's head had been cut off and deposited several meters from the body. Apparently, she had died fighting to the last during the Mongol invasion of 1265. See The Knight of the Tiger Skin, p.14.
