Lithic assemblages of Azokh Cave (Nagorno Karabagh, Lesser Caucasus): Raw materials, technology and regional context

Lena Asryan; Andreu Ollé; Norah Moloney, and Tania King · 2014

Catalogue summary

This archaeological study documents stone-tool assemblages from Azokh Cave in Nagorno Karabakh and relates their materials and technology to regional prehistoric contexts. It distinguishes occupational layers and evaluates the evidence for changing tool-production practices across the sequence.

Why this matters

It supplies a clearly located archaeological entry point for Artsakh, connecting a documented cave assemblage with wider questions about prehistoric occupation in the Lesser Caucasus.
