Secular dental changes in the populations of the Armenian highland: evolutionary and ecological aspects

Archaeology, Ethnology and Anthropology of Eurasia, 2011
Based on the comparison of several dental series representing populations which inhabited the Armenian Highland in various periods, from the Early Bronze Age to the present, several diachronic tendencies were revealed. These tendencies were apparently caused by population history and secular trends, the principal one being dental reduction.

Influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on δD and δ18O in meteoric water in the Armenian Highland

Journal of Hydrology, 2019
Abstract The stable hydrogen (δD) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope composition of modern meteoric water are influenced by changes in global temperature, Rayleigh distillation processes, and moisture transport history. However, on a global scale the relative influence of these different meteorological variables is spatially heterogeneous.

A Monumental Horse Burial in the Armenian Highlands

Archaeology, Ethnology & Anthropology of Eurasia, 2021
Here we report on the unprecedented discovery of the complete skeleton of a ritually interred adult stallion with a bronze ring in its mouth. The horse was buried in a unique 15-meters diameter monumental stone-built tomb excavated in the Aghavnatun necropolis located on the southern slopes of Mt.

The Bronze and Iron Age populations of the Armenian Highland in the genetic history of Armenians

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020
AbstractObjectivesTo investigate the biological diversity of the late Bronze and Iron Age populations in the Armenian Highland by nonmetric cranial traits, evaluate the genetic continuity in the development of the modern Armenian gene pool, and compare the results obtained with genetic data.Materials and methodsTwenty‐eight nonmetric cranial traits ...

Once more on the so-called ‘Felstreppentunnel’ in the Armenian Highlands

ARAMAZD: Armenian Journal of Near Eastern Studies, 2020
The present article is aimed to discuss the problem of the dating of the ‘stepped rock-cut tunnels’, also known in the literature by the German term ‘Treppentunneln’ or ‘Felstreppentunnel’. The last section is dedicated to further thoughts on the problems involved in dating most of the Urartian archaeological remains currently known, from a wider ...

A Bioarchaeological Analysis of the Population of the Armenian Highland and Transcaucasus in Antiquity

Mankind Quarterly, 2012
The complex process of interaction between different ethnic groups in Transcaucasia in ancient times has been little studied. Undertaken here is a multidimensional craniometric analysis of more than 112 Eurasian ethnic groups between 1st century BC and 3rd century AD.

Caucasus Mountains and Armenian Highlands

1984
The Caucasus mountains and Armenian highlands represent the eastern part of the technically young, epigeosynclinal orogenic Alpine zone, lying between the Scythian platform (Hercynian) and the Arabian platform (Precambrian). The Great Caucasus forms the outer ridges of the Alpine orogenic system, while the Armenian highlands form an inner sector ...

Civilization Machines: Value and Recognition on the Armenian Highland from the Bronze Age to Today

Scottish Archaeological Journal, 2022
This article provides a summary of the Dalrymple Lectures delivered November 18–21, 2019. It examines the troubled, and troubling, idea of ‘civilization’, charting a path toward rehabilitation not as a descriptive category but as an analytic concept. Returning to the term's 18thcentury origins, civilization here describes neither a state of being nor a

Entropy, Seismicity Monitoring in the Armenian Highlands and Dynamics of the Akhurian Reservoir Filling

Seismic Instruments, 2018
The Armenian seismic system, which has a threshold magnitude of 6.2, has been identified based on the method of seismic entropy, makes it possible to monitor nucleation of strong earthquakes in the magnitude range of 6.2 ≤ M < 6.6, as well as to assess the seismic situation in Armenia and neighboring countries.
