A Middle and Late Bronze Age Settlement in Armenia: The Aggregated Cells of Arteni

Résumé

The Armenian-French research program (‘Mission Archéologique Caucase’) focused on the aggregated cells of the Aragats region between 2015 and 2017. The aim of this program was to establish the periodization, function and layout of these enigmatic structures. Huge numbers of these small sites were discovered in the Aragats region, thanks to satellite imagery. Arteni represents a characteristic example of an aggregated cell. In this paper, we provide a summary of the main results from three seasons of excavation. In addition to the aggregated cell occupation, dating from the Late Bronze Age, the site yielded an important Middle Bronze Age occupation. The latter is of particular interest in Armenia, where this period is mainly known through funerary complexes.
