Study of the Stone Age in the Republic of Armenia (Part 1 – Lower Palaeolithic)
The area encompassing the modern Republic of Armenia lies within the Armenian highlands and is situated at the very core of a dynamic corridor between Africa and Eurasia. As such, Armenia proves critical for understanding the initial stages of human settlement and the formation of ancient civilisations in the Near East and beyond. Stone Age artefacts have been known to exist within the territory of Armenia since the end of the 19th century, and t…
Late Middle Paleolithic Technological Organization and Behavior at the Open-Air Site of Barozh 12 (Armenia)
Bagratashen 1, a stratified open-air Middle Paleolithic site in the Debed river valley of northeastern Armenia
New insights into desert kites in Armenia
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…
Early Levallois technology and the Lower to Middle Paleolithic transition in the Southern Caucasus
An early assemblage of obsidian artifacts Levallois technology is the name for the stone knapping technique used to create tools thousands of years ago. The technique appeared in the archeological record across Eurasia 200 to 300 thousand years ago (ka) and appeared earlier in Africa. Adler et al. challenge the hypothesis that the technique's appearance in Eurasia was the result of the expansion of hominins from Africa. Levallois obsidian artifac…

Angeghakot 1 (Armenia) and the identification of the Mousterian cultural facies of « Yerevan points » type in the Southern Caucasus
Au Caucase, dans la vallée du Vorotan (sud-est de l’Arménie), la découverte en 2003 par une équipe pluridisciplinaire arméno-française d’un gisement situé à 1 800 m d’altitude dans la commune d’Angeghakot, atteste la fréquentation de la région par des groupes de chasseurs-cueilleurs au Paléolithique moyen. L’industrie lithique, élaborée principalement sur l’obsidienne et récoltée en surface, a permis d’identifier le faciès moustérien typique du «…
