The burial of a woman at metsamor
The water management around the Urartian fortress of Argishtikhinili, Armenia
Despite the survival of some historical records, little is known about water management in Urartu. This project focuses on the fortress of Argishtikhinili in the Araks Valley, Armenia, employing satellite imaging and remote sensing data to identify 1019km of water-management features, including a potential 134.6km of ancient canals
The Gareus Temple from Uruk
To the south of the main hill overlooking the ruins of Uruk is the Temple of Gareus. Dated to either 422 SE or 110/111 AD, the temple is attributed solely on the basis of a Greek inscription found inside it. The temple and the deity worshipped therein are of particular interest, as they represent some of the most enigmatic deities from the times of Parthian domination over southern Mesopotamia. It is possible that its origins are rooted deeply in…
Jar burial of Metsamor. Results of the preliminary examination
In 2022 Armenian-Polish joint archaeological team conducting scientific research project at the Metsamor archaeological site unearthed one jar/karas burial in the urban quarters. The excavations in the urban quarters of Metsamor started in 2013. The research paper tries to bring up data to more fully understand the ritual practice of jar burials at the site. This paper reviews previous research undertaken at the site and describes the recent exca…
Metsamor. Reconstruction of urban space arrangement and its significance
The remains of a small town that was active on the Ararat Plain during the Early Iron Age have been uncovered during recent excavations at Metsamor. The character of the recently cleaned architectural remains raises questions about the city’s nature during the period when the first proto-state political organisms were active. The distribution of the dwellings, the arrangement of the internal spaces and the remains of monumental architecture all s…
Urartian Red Burnished Ware in local context
Urartian Red Burnished Ware were imported to Metsamor. • Urartian Red Burnished Ware have different chemical composition than local pottery. • Urartian pottery could not have been produced in the pottery workshops producing local ware. This paper presents a case study on Urartian Red Burnished Ware (URBW) distribution within a provincial Urartian Kingdom settlement through the use of geochemical and petrographic analyses in a comparison of local …
Organization of urban space in the northern part of the ancient town at Marina el Alamein
Recent excavations in the northern part of the Marina el-Alamein archaeological site have uncovered architectural features shedding light on the functioning of this part of the town located close to the putative harbor. It now appears to have been a residential district of an affluent elite, exemplified by House H39 incorporating a small bathhouse. In view of these findings, the location of a large house with a commemorative complex dedicated to …
Metsamor (Armenia) unexpected burials from the beginning of the Common Era
Excavations at Metsamor, seasons 2013-2018
The archaeological site of Metsamor is situated in the southwestern part of Taronik village (formerly Zejva), 35km southwest of Yerevan, in the Ararat Valley. The coordinates of the site are 40°07′36′′N 44°11′11′′E. The convenient location, fertile soil and favourable climatic conditions allowed people to develop their activities in this territory from very ancient times.The site has, over time, developed around several volcanic hills. The left-b…
Metsamor
A multi-disciplinary research project in the Aras Valley, Armenia, focuses on the remains of the Late Bronze/Early Iron Age settlement of Metsamor. The results challenge prior understandings of the settlement's past and the role it played in the region, especially during the first centuries of the first millennium BC

Metsamor in Armenia
Archaeological exploration of the eastern part of the settlement in Metsamor in 2018 uncovered several rectangular structures. Most of these structures were dated to the early Iron Ages I and II. Roman-period graves were recorded in the ruins of the Iron Age settlement. An anthropological assessment of human remains from three of the burials (sex, age, cranial and postcranial measurements as well as the selected paleopathologies) is presented in …
Argishti I in the Arax valley
The conquest of the fertile Arax valley by Argishti I in the mid 8th century BC was a major point in Urartian imperial policy, the valley having been a target of Urartian expansion from the start. The article outlines Argishti’s actions, including the evidence of violence discovered during recent excavation at Metsamor in Armenia, thus highlighting the dynamics and significance of Urartian expansionism. A contribution is also made to a study of t…
Preliminary report on the 2016 season in Metsamor (Armenia)
Excavation in Metsamor in 2016 was focused on the settlement area as well as necropolis. Extended trenches uncovered a substantial part of the settlement and contributed new stratigraphic and chronological data on the three phases of occupation, especially the heavy fire that appears to have destroyed the buildings in the early 8th century BC. A unique find from this level of destruction was a necklace made of sardonyx, agate and gold beads. In t…
Matsamor (Armenia) after five seasons of excavations
The Metsamor site in the 2017 season was excavated in two areas. The main area was the so-called town area where several dwellings from the Early Iron Age were cleared. Evidence of violent site destruction included two human skeletons belonging most probably to victims of a sudden attack, left unburied after the town had been destroyed. The cemetery was the second investigated area. Exploration of kurgan XIX demonstrated that it had been looted. …
Marina el Alamein. Preliminary report after the 2017 season
Most of the activity during the 2017 season at the archaeological site of Marina el Alamein was focused on two areas situated in the northern part of the town. Building H 40 was one of the main excavation targets: two rooms were cleared, originally part of a large, multi-roomed and most probably prosperous house. The other target was the structure H 39, already explored in earlier seasons, which was now confirmed as a small but richly decorated b…
Metsamor (Armenia)
The Metsamor excavation project is a Polish–Armenian effort to investigate a Bronze Age citadel site located about 35 km west of Yerevan, on a hill dominating the Ararat plain. Fieldwork started in 2013 and was aimed during the first three seasons at clarifying site chronology in the citadel as well as the northern lower town. An unbroken sequence from the Kura Araxes culture (Early Bronze Age) to medieval times was confirmed. Settlement remains …
Preliminary report on Polish excavations at Marina el-Alamein in the 2012–2015 seasons
The Marina el-Alamein Archaeological Project concentrated on excavating the area in the northern part of the harbor town, where a street (S1) existed, running north–south toward the harbor, lined by buildings on both sides. A test trench was dug across it to study the stratigraphy. It helped to identify several street levels and at least two major building phases in this area. One of the structures (H39) contained a hypocaust furnace that led to …
