A Monumental Horse Burial in the Armenian Highlands
Here we report on the unprecedented discovery of the complete skeleton of a ritually interred adult stallion with a bronze ring in its mouth. The horse was buried in a unique 15-meters diameter monumental stone-built tomb excavated in the Aghavnatun necropolis located on the southern slopes of Mt. Aragats, in the northern fringes of the Ararat Depression, Republic of Armenia. The tumulus was roughly circular; the horse’s remains were found in sit…
Aboriginal Timber-Built Deer Corral-Traps in Mineral County, Nevada
Late prehistoric and early historic communal hunting sites along the southwestern mountainous margins of the Great Basin, United Sates, include timber-built corral-traps estimated to be only a few hundred years old. In most of these, no animal bones or direct evidence for the targeted species were found in the corrals. Our goals were to characterize and reconstruct past use of these sites, and we chose two distinct case studies, Anchorite Pass an…
Seasonal use of corrals and game traps (desert kites) in Armenia
New insights into desert kites in Armenia: The fringes of the Ararat Depression
The Armenian kites are the northernmost known kites in south‐west Asia. In contrast to those in the deserts further south, their research has only recently begun. The Armenian kites are situated at high elevations, mostly between 900 and 1500 m above mean sea level, in steppic conditions where Artemisia is at present the dominant shrub on the landscape. In our ongoing project we excavated three V‐shaped kites and one enclosure kite. The two kinds…
High-resolution documentation, 3-D modeling and analysis of “desert kites”
"Use of Terrestrial Laser Scans for High-Resolution Documentation and 3D Modeling of "Desert Kites
Over 3,000 Desert Kites are known in Southwest Asia. However, most are known only by the study of Google Earth images, and the majority have never been visited or surveyed by foot or thoroughly documented. The high-resolution documentation of such constructions is imperative but limited in many cases, due to the harsh conditions and the use of local undressed stones for building. We introduce here the use of a LiDAR scanner and its contribution t…
