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

Contextualizing the Upper Paleolithic of the Armenian Highlands: New data from Solak-1, central Armenia

Journal of Human Evolution
As a potential corridor connecting Southwest Asia with western and northern Europe, the Armenian Highlands and southern Caucasus hold great potential for increasing our understanding of Upper Paleolithic behavioral and cultural variability. However, given the dearth of Upper Paleolithic sites, we lack the data necessary to answer basic questions ...

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.

Regional impact of the Armenian highland as an elevated heat source: ERA-Interim reanalysis and observations

Climate Dynamics, 2014
The heat-driven plain–plateau circulation producing strong summertime winds in Yerevan has been examined. The study indicates that the formation of plain–plateau circulation over the Armenian Highland is the combined product of large-scale and local circulations.

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.

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.

Illuminating the processes of microevolution: A bioarchaeological analysis of dental non-metric traits from Armenian Highland

HOMO, 2018
Non-metric dental traits provide useful information for assessing temporal changes as well as for assessing biological relationships among living and ancient populations. Dental morphological traits were employed in this study as direct indicators of biological affinities among the populations that inhabited the Armenian Highland from the Late ...

The State Formations of the Armenian Highland According to Hittite Sources (Some Theoretical Issues)

ISTORIYA
The early history of the Armenian Highland cannot be comprehended outside the context of the history of its immediate neighbors. The ancient Near Eastern written sources of the 2nd millennium BC left a wealth of information about the states and “lands” of the Armenian Highland.
