Patterns of regional production and distribution of red slip pottery in the Ararat Plain and Sevan Lake basin during the Urartian and post-Urartian periods (8th–6th centuries BCE)
Red slip pottery represents one of the most technologically and morphologically distinctive ceramic traditions of the South Caucasus. Its appearance and initial phase of development, known as Urartian Red Burnished Ware, are closely linked with the existence of the Urartian Kingdom during the Middle Iron Age. This study examines patterns of production and distribution of red slip pottery in the northeastern provinces of the Urartian Kingdom, cove…

Magnetic and GPR surveys in Metsamor, Argištiḫinili and Zvartnost on the Ararat Plain, Armenia
Preliminary geophysical survey on the Ararat Plain revealed insights into three sites, Magnetic surveys mapped burial structures in Metsamor's necropolis, GPR detected settlement structures at Argištiḫinili and Zvartnots
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 …
The New Kingdom of Egypt and the Early State Organizations of the Armenian Highland in the Second Half of the II Millennium Bc (Based on Historical Sources and Archaeological Evidence)
The Ancient Near Eastern powerful states in the mid II millennium BC were not only directing and supervising the military-political, trading-economic, and sociocultural processes, but were also trying to obtain their dominance and control in the region. This was the reason that two conflicting groups gradually polarized in the region, where each state, despite its interests concerning the redistribution of spheres of influence in the ancient Near…
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…
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. …
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 …
