Meliksetian, IGS) 1. Aragats stratovolcano. Short stop at the foothills of Quaternary Aragats volcano. Aragats (4090m) is one the largest volcanoes in the entire region of post collisional volcanism. It has produced big number of central vent (inc. Plinian VEI>4) and monogenetic type flank eruptions. The youngest activity of Aragats is dated to ~500 Ka. 2. Visits to historical sites in Lori region of Armenia, around Alaverdi. Cathedrals and monasteries planned to visit are located on the plateaus along the valley with a picturesque landscape formed by the Debed river, that cross cuts major Early Pleistocene Plateau basalts and provides nice overview of the regional geology of the area. a. Kobair. 12th-century monastery located in the village Kober within Lori marz, Armenia. The ruins of the main church in the monastery contain frescoes of Christ and the twelve apostles, as well as the Church Fathers and other Christian figures. b. Sanahin. Armenian monastery of 10th century, UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous by unique architectural forms and a number of Khachkars (cross- stones). c. Haghpat is a medieval (X century) Armenian monastery complex in Haghpat, Armenia, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. 3. Plateau basalts in canyon of Debed river. Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene plateau basalts outcrops in valley of Debed river (near Alaverdi). 200–400m thick basalt lavas outcrop in the South Caucasus region, including the Kars–Erzurum Plateau (northeastern Turkey), the Javakheti Plateau (Georgia–Armenia), and the Lori Plateau (northern Armenia). These fissure-fed, rapidly erupted fluid lavas filled pre-existing river valleys over tens of kilometers. Because its main geological features are remarkably like those of many continental flood basalt (CFB) provinces, we consider it a true, albeit small, CFB province, regardless of the tectonic setting (continental collision). It is the smallest and youngest CFB in the world (Sheth et al., 2015). Many regional Paleolithic sites are found on the top of plateau basalts, Karakach, Dmanisi, Kurtan, Bagratashen-1. 5th of September, Alaverdia (Neghots) – Haghtanak-3 – Dmanisi (Georgia) -Neghots (Responsible persons: B.Gasparyan, IAE NAS, Armenia, Prof. D. Lordkipanidze, Georgian National Museum) 4 | P a g e INQUA – SEQS SECTION ON EUROPEAN QUATERNARY STRATIGRAPHY WORKSHOP 03 – 10 SEPTEMBER 2016, ARMENIA 1. Haghtanak-3. Hagtanak-3 is a multiperiod open-air archaeological site, which contains Iron-Age cemetery, Chalcolithic settlement and Paleolithic habitation phases from Upper to Lower. The most significant ones are the finds of the pebble tools in the lowermost strata, which may signify hominid presence in the Debed river valley during the early Pleistocene. (Egeland et al. 2011) 2. Dmanisi. Dmanisi in South Georgia is an early hominine site, fossils are dating back at 1.8 million years and are now believed to be a subspecies of Homo erectus. (Lordkipanidze et al. 2013) 6th September, Neghots – Odzun-Kurtan-Karakhach-Neghots (Responsible person: Dr. Trifonov, GIN RAS, Russian Federation) 1. Odzun. Armenian basilica constructed around the 5th-7th century in the Odzun village of the Lori Province of Armenia. The church represents well preserved domed basilica. 2. Kurtan. Multiperiod archeological site, Uratian fortress (8 century BC). Paleolithic part of the site contains the Middle Acheulian artifacts. (Presnyakov et al., 2012, Trifonov et al., 2015) 3. Karakhach. Early Paleolithic site. The course-grained pyroclastic unit of Karakhach was deposited during the Olduvai subchron (not earlier than 1.9-1.85 Ma) and the earliest Calabrian. The region was occupied by the earliest hominines producing lithic industries of the Early Acheulian aspect. (Presnyakov et al., 2012, Trifonov et al., 2015) 7th September, Neghots – Sevkar-Sevan-Nor Geghi-1 – Yerevan (accommodation in a hotel) (Responsible persons: Dr. A. Karakhanyan, Dr. L. Sahakyan, IGS NAS Armenia, B. Gasparyan, IAE NAS, Armenia) 1. Sevkar. Well dated stratigraphic succession of unaltered loess deposits, palaeosols, colluvial slope deposits, and volcanic ashes. The chronology of formation of loess- paleosol sequences with volcanic ash corresponds to Late-Pleistocene-Holocene. (Wolf et al., 2016) 2. Sevan Lake and Sevanavank monastery. Sevan Lake is the largest lake in Armenia and the entire Caucasus region. It is one of the largest freshwater high-altitude lakes in the world. Altitude of the lake is 1900 m. The geology of the lake and its surroundings represent an interesting combination of Quaternary and Holocene tectonics and volcanism. Sevanavank is a 9th century monastery complex located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan. 3. Nor Geghi-1. Paleolithic site that marks the Lower to Middle Paleolithic transition (~400,000 to 200,000 years BC).

  • 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. Wir danken der Deut- schen Orient-Gesellschaft für die Finanzierung der diesjährigen Kampagne. Für die umfangreiche Unterstützung danken wir Prof. Dr. Adelheid Otto (München) ganz herzlich.
