Caucasian (culture or style) (Central Asian, Asian, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to the people, styles, and cultures originating in the general Caucasus region, which is the area between the Black and Caspian Seas, surrounding the Caucasus mountains, comprising roughly the modern nations of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, southern parts of Russia, and northeastern Turkey. It refers specifically to the Indo-European and Turkic cultures that have occupied the area since around the first millennium BCE. It takes its name from the Caucasus tribes that settled here; was home to Milesian Greeks, subsequently was invaded numerous times; legendary site of Jason's quest for Golden Fleece; the Caucasus mountains have traditionally been the boundary separating Europe from Asia; however, the area is more subject to Asian influence and so is more often grouped with Asia in modern scholarship.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指發源於高加索地區的民族、風格與文化。高加索地區介於黑海與裏海之間,四周環繞高加索山脈,大致包括現今的喬治亞、亞美尼亞、亞塞拜然、俄羅斯南部、土耳其東北部等地區。高加索文化尤指西元前一千年左右,盛行於該地區的印歐文化與土耳其文化。「高加索」此名源自定居於該區的高加索民族,為米利都希臘人的故鄉,之後多次遭到入侵,也是希臘神話英雄傑森尋找金羊毛的地方。傳統上,高加索山脈為歐亞的分界,但由於高加索地區受到較多亞洲文化的影響,現代學術較常將之納入亞洲的研究範疇。
