  • Bericht Über Den Zweiten Survey in Der Provinz Lori (Armenien)
    Mitteilungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft zu Berlin MDOG 150 · 2018 Bericht über den zweiten Survey in der Provinz Lori (Armenien) MICHAEL HERLES (MÜNCHEN) – RUBEN DAVTYAN (HALLE/SAALE) MIT EINEM BEITRAG VON BENIK VARDANYAN Abstract A second season of survey in the province of Lori took place in the districts of Spitak and Gugark along the entire Pambak river and its neighbouring foothills. Find spots of all periods have been documented in order to be able to reconstruct the changes of the landscape over time. Numerous fortified settlements and dry stone fortifications have been documented, which have their closest parallels in southern Armenia and eastern Turkey. Most of the pottery discovered at the above-mentioned sites dates to the Early and Middle Iron Ages. Archaeological evidence found in sites of Lori province, such as Lernapat and Lori Berd, confirms interconnections between this northern region and the Urartian Empire. At some of the sites, along with Iron Age remains, finds of the Kura-Araxes culture additionally give evidence for Early Bronze Age occupation. This is consistent with the results of investigations in other regions. 1. Einleitung Im Zeitraum von August bis September 2017 fand die zweite Kampagne eines armenisch-deutschen Kooperationsprojektes in der Provinz Lori statt.1 1 Wir sind verschiedenen Institutionen und Personen zu großem Dank verpflichtet, die zum Gelingen der Kampagne 2017 beigetragen haben.
