Prehistoric gold from Lake Sevan Basin? New research on Armenian gold deposits and objects
The article gives an overview of the results of a joint Armenian-German project in the area of today's open pit gold mine of Sotk in Eastern Armenia. Special attention is given to the preliminary results of the gold analysis. Interdisciplinary studies on regional natural gold deposits - especially the Sotk and Tsarasar deposits - and their archaeological context are presented together with the analytical results of 43 gold and four silver objects…
Preliminary results of excavations of the Early Bronze Age settlement in Lernakert (Armenia)
In 2019 an Early Bronze Age settlement was recorded within the territory of Lernakert village of Shirak. It occupied the territory of the Early Iron Age fortress of Vari Berd and its surrounding area, reaching the south-western limits of the village. The homogenous and contemporary pottery fragments of the Karnut-Shengavit group associated with the second stage of the Early Bronze Age were unearthed in three test trenches. The assemblage mainly i…
The settlement of Norabats
The Kura-Araxes settlement of Norabats situated in Ararat valley is characterized by its mostly circular mud brick constructions. South to them, seven round pits with 1-1.5 m in diameter were excavated. They show regularities in regard to their form and artefacts found there. After comprehensive description and discussion, we argue that these features were of economical character. Other characteristics of the site were braided baskets, still cont…
Female with Ankylosing Spondylitis from the 7th–6th century BCE Lori Berd burial (Armenia)
A female skeleton from the Lori Berd archaeological cemetery, located near the city of Stepanavan (Lori Province of Armenia) is described. Palaeopathological analysis revealed a variety pathology (ankylosis of the sacroiliac joints, ankylosis of the vertebrae, syndesmophytes, ankylosed of the costovertebral and costotransverse joint fusions, kyphosis, lordosis, fracture of the anterior inferior iliac spine and traumatic lesions). This paper repor…
Recent investigations in the Province of Lori
Since 2016 an Armenian-German team has been resuming surveys in the province of Lori. After extensive surveys in the two northern districts of Stepanavan and Tashir in 2016, corresponding explorations were conducted in the southern districts of Spitak and Gugark in the following year 2017. In the eastern district of Tumanian our team has hardly done any work up to date. During the two surveys of 2016 and 2017, a total of 52 sites (Figure 1) were …
