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…
Geoarchaeological investigations in Artanish Peninsula, Armenia
Within the framework of an Armenian–German research project, taking place between 2019 and 2021 on the Artanish Peninsula at Lake Sevan (Armenia), in addition to numerous (geo‐) archaeological investigations, methods of geochemical prospection have been carried out. The ancient burial grounds of Artanish 23 and Artanish 29 have served as model sites to successfully test the well‐known method of geochemical prospection and evaluation of metal depo…
Palaeoenvironmental and chronological context of hominin occupations of the Armenian Highlands during MIS 3
Archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence from the Armenian Highlands and wider southern Caucasus region emphasises the significance of Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 (c. 57–29 ka) as a crucial period for understanding hominin behaviours amidst environmental fluctuations. Ararat-1 cave, situated in the Ararat Depression, Republic of Armenia, presents potential for resolving emerging key debates regarding hominin land use adaptations during t…
‘Looking for the tombs of dragons’
An interdisciplinary archaeogeochemical research on vishaps (stone stelae also known as dragon stones) has been carried out for the first time in Armenia. The survey area is situated in the neighborhood of Tirinkatar and Karmir Sar volcanoes on southern slopes of Mt. Aragats. The geochemical prospecting studies have been realised on a high mountain meadow (2850 m asl) with 12 vishaps and numerous circular stone structures known as cromlechs. Five…
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
Reconnaissance survey for Palaeolithic sites in the Debed River Valley, northern Armenia
The southern Caucasus is a critical region for those interested in Palaeolithic research because of its varied topography and location at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Modern Armenia sits at the heart of this area, but has until now played a small role in broader debates, largely because of its paucity of well-excavated and well-dated sites. To improve this situation, a survey was conducted for Palaeolithic sites along the valley of…
