The Armenian-Italian Joint Expedition to Dvin
Report of 2023 Activities
Abstract
This report aims to show the results of the third excavation campaign at Dvin/Dabīl (Armenia), conducted by the Italian-Armenian research group in Autumn 2023. The excavations involved three areas in distinct sectors of the city: the southern portion of the Lower Fortress, where the 2021 square was deepened and enlarged; the so-called ‘Market’ area, where the 2021 excavations were expanded and a micro-stratigraphic trench was opened; and the excavations of the Area of the Future Building of the Dvin Museum. Additionally, there is a starting research about the analysis of pottery carried out between 2022 and the last year excavation. We presented also the first results concerning faunal remains research.
