Geology and Geomorphology of Azokh Caves

Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology, 2016
Azokh Cave is located in the Lesser Caucasus and is hosted in Mesozoic limestone. It comprises a series of karstic cavities, chambers and passageways that interconnect to form a larger cave network, the trend of which appears to have been influenced by fracture patterns in the bedrock.

Charcoal Remains from Azokh 1 Cave: Preliminary Results

Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology, 2016
We present here the results of the charcoal analyses from Unit II and Unit Vu from Azokh 1 Cave. The results from the anthracological study show a variable record with up to nine taxa, including variability within the identified genera or types. The most abundant taxon is Prunus, which represents 80% of the record in Unit II.

Chemical Alteration of Lithic Artefacts: an Experimental Case Study on the effect of Guano on Stone Flakes and Its Contextualization in the Archaeological Assemblage of Azokh Cave (Southern Caucasus)

Archaeometry, 2017
Chemical weathering of archaeological material is well known; however, while there have been a number of experimental studies demonstrating different types and degrees of chemical alteration on faunal remains, little attention has been paid to stone tools, and the few studies that exist relate mainly to siliceous materials and water‐induced chemical ...
