The Armenian-Polish Archaeological Mission Metsamor invites students willing to participate in this year’s excavations to an orientation meeting. The fieldwork is planned from late August to early October this year.
The site of Metsamor is a settlement complex consisting of a fortress surrounded with Cyclopean walls, a lower city adjoining it from the north and south, as well as a nearby cemetery. The area was inhabited intermittently from the Chalcolithic period (5th millennium BC) to the 17th century AD. Metsamor reached its heyday in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (15th–8th century BC) (read more).
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 30th March at 1.15 pm in room 2.06A at the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw.
Contact: Assoc. Prof. Krzysztof Jakubiak, expedition director: kzjakubiak@uw.edu.pl and Dr. Mateusz Iskra: mk.iskra2@uw.edu.pl
