In the 2002 field season, the Azerbaijani-Daghestani-American archaeological expedition carried out careful visual investigations and mapping of portions of the Ghilghilchay Sasanian fortification wall that was built in the 6th century AD on the Caspian coastal plain. Among the recorded features of the wall were over 300 towerbuttresses spaced regularly along it, five towers with interior depressed cultural deposits, three military garrisons or forts (two of which were not previously recorded), and one apparently fortified Sasanian settlement. These collaborative new investigations reveal prime areas for future excavation
