Late Bronze Age Swords of the Lchashen-type
This paper examines Lchashen-type swords from the Armenian Highland as a distinct group of long-bladed, Late Bronze Age (15th–13th centuries BCE) swords within the wider interregional military-technological networks of the Late Bronze Age world-system. The study combines typological analysis, compositional comparison, experimental reconstruction, and controlled combat experiments to investigate the morphology, manufacturing strategies, and functi…
Food Patterns in the Bronze-Iron Age Archaeological Site Lernakert in Armenia
In 2019-2021, excavations at the Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age archaeological site of Lernakert on the northwestern slopes of Mount Aragats yielded a significant quantity of faunal remains. The archaeological complex comprises two cyclopean fortresses (Veri Berd and Vari Berd), tombs, and settlements. Archaeozoological analyses were conducted to identify dietary and food technology components in this region. The diversity of animal remains rev…
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…
Preliminary report on the faunal remains from Aragatsavan 1, Armenia
This paper presents the preliminary analysis of the zooarchaeological data from the settlement of Aragatsavan 1, Armenia. The excavation of the site is in progress and a complete stratigraphic sequence has not been obtained yet, while the excavated levels are dated to the second and third phases of the Trialeti-Vanadzor culture of the Middle Bronze Age period (19th -18/17th centuries BC). Taxonomic and metric analyses suggest that all the species…
