From the series Black Sea Culture
The present day tribal culture in the mountainous coastal areas south of the Caucasian mountains in Georgia and north of the Pontic Alps in Turkey hasn’t changed much in the last 3,300 years. The severe geography of these mountains helps retain pockets of traditional culture. Girls in this village vote every year whether or not they will continue to wear these ancient outfits that date back to time of the Genovese traders. On the other side of the Pontic Mountains, clothing is completely homogeneous.
