From summer 2013 a joint Armenian- Italian expedition (Kotayk Survey Project - KSP) registers and studies all the archaeological sites along the upper Hrazdan river basin, in the Armenian province of Kotayk. The project is organized by the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, the International Association of Mediterranean and Oriental Studies (ISMEO) and the Italian Foreign Affairs Minister.


Up to now the expedition registered 56 historical/archaeological sites, dating back from Palaeolithic to Middle Age. For each site KSP archaeologists register its position and each features there detected. All the collected materials are registered, photographed and studied, in order to better understand the chronology of the site.


Moreover the expedition started excavation of one well preserved Iron Age fortress near the village of Solak. Fortress has been destroyed by fire, and during excavation burned beams together with many sherds and stone tools crashed on the floor has been found.


Aim of the third season is continuing the survey of the northern part of Kotayk and finishing the excavation of Room I of the fortress near Solak. During 2016 the monograph about first three seasons will be published.


Up to now we cannot cover the overall cost of next campaign (summer 2015). Duration of excavation and possibility to continue survey will depend on the amount of fund raised. Your donations, no matter how small, will be very much appreciated.

You can also help us on the ground, on the excavation. Contact us for more information
