Genomic insights into the origin of farming in the ancient Near East
Bagratashen 1, a stratified open-air Middle Paleolithic site in the Debed river valley of northeastern Armenia
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…
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…
Areni-1 Cave, Armenia
The beginning of the Bronze Age in the southern Caucasus has been thought to coincide with the appearance of the Kura Araxes (KA) culture around 3500 cal b.c. KA artifacts are known not only from the southern Caucasus but also from sites in Anatolia, Iran, and the Levant. Recent discoveries from Areni-1 Cave in the Vayots Dzor region of Armenia demonstrate that the origin of the distinctive KA artifact assemblage lies in the Late Chalcolithic of …
Taphonomy and zooarchaeology of a high-altitude Upper Pleistocene faunal sequence from Hovk-1 Cave, Armenia
Using GIS and Ecological Variables to Identify High Potential Areas for Paleoanthropological Survey
The timing and nature of the initial hominid dispersals from Africa during the Plio-Pleistocene (here 2.0-1.5 million years ago [MYR]) is an issue of great interest for paleoanthropology. However, the biological, technological, and ecological context of these dispersals remains cloudy due largely to a paucity of Eurasian paleoanthropological sites dating to this time period. Indeed, there are only a handful of well-accepted Plio-Pleistocene sites…
