Karaz Kültürü Geç Kalkolitik Çağ ve Erken Tunç Çağı boyunca Transkafkasya, Azerbaycan ve Kuzeybatı İran’ı da içine alan bölgede etkili olan bir kültür olmuştur. Bu kültür aynı zamanda Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’nin bir bölümünün içinde bulunduğu Karadeniz dağlarına kadar yayılım göstermiştir. Erken Transkafkasya kültürü olarak tanımlanan ve terminolojisi hakkında birçok teklif yapılan Karaz Kültürü, Kura-Aras Kültürü olarak da isimlendirilmiştir. Suriye-Filistin’de Erken Tunç Çağı’ndan Orta Tunç Çağı’na geçiş aşamasında görülen bu kültür keramiğinin, bir halk hareketi sonunda veya yabancı bir kültüre bağlı olarak bölgeye yayıldığı düşünülmektedir. Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi- Giresun- Alucra sınırları içerisinde bulunan Gavur Kalesi Yerleşimi’nin Karaz Kültürü Keramiği’nin etki alanı içerisinde olduğu düşüncesindeyiz. Bölgede devam eden arkeolojik yüzey araştırmaları sonuçlarının Karaz Kültürü’nün yayılım alanı ile ilgili ilerleyen zamanlarda daha kesin sonuçlar vereceği kanısındayız.
Karaz culture was an influential culture in the region that includes Transcaucasia Azerbaijan and Northwestern of Iran throughout the late chalcolithic and Early Bronze Ages. At the same time this culture spread to Black Sea Mountains in which part of eastern Black Sea region is located. Karaz culture was defined as early Transcaucasia culture and many suggestions were made about its terminology. It was also called as Kura-Aras culture. The stonewares of this culture, which were seen in Syria-Palestine in the transition stage from Early Bronze Age to Middle Bronze Age, were believed to spread the zone as a result of migration or a foreign culture. We are on the opinion that Gavur Kalesi settlement which is located in eastern Black Sea region- Giresun- Alucra is in the effect zone of stoneware of Karaz culture. We also believe that the result of ongoing Archeological surface survey in the region will reveal more accurate results about the spread of Karaz culture in the future
