A newly Identified “Desert Kite” on the Northwestern Slopes of Mount Ararat
The newly discovered archaeological site is located on the right bank of the Araxes River, on the northwestern slopes of Mount Ararat. It was identified through the systematic analysis of satellite imagery. The site exhibits the characteristic features of “desert kites”, including a large enclosed area, external cells, and lateral protrusions. The dating remains unknown, as no field investigations have yet been conducted at the site. The structur…
Exploring the myth of Lake Saveh on the Iranian Plateau
This study presents a multidisciplinary reconstruction of a paleolake’s Holocene evolution in Iran’s Central Plateau, synthesizing sedimentological, geochronological, archeological, and historical evidence. Our findings confirm the existence of a large paleolake (~16–14 ka) in the northern plateau, with episodic desiccation and recharge. Lake levels declined by 250 m between 11.5 and 8.2 ka, stabilizing at ~850 m elevation. The 8.2 ka climatic co…
Overview of the geology and related hazards of the Ararat depression
This paper presents an overview of the geology, structure and related hazards of the Ararat Depression. The Cenozoic intermountain depression is located to the south of the Lesser Caucasus and formed after the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene closure of the Tethys Ocean and the start of Arabia-Eurasia collision. At the base of the Ararat Depression lies a thick sequence of Neoproterozoic crystalline basement (borehole data), Paleozoic sedimentary, Mesoz…
