    GROUP OF ARMENIAN AND FRENCH ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND FIRST EVER OPEN SETTLEMENT OF PRIMEVAL MAN

    Yerevan, May 19. ArmInfo. For the first time in Armenia a group
    of Armenian and French archaeologists has found a open Stone Age
    settlement in the territory of the National Park of Dilijan, Tavush
    region.

    The head of the group Boris Gasparyan says that the find is a planned
    and organized proto-settlement near the village of Kalavan on the
    right bank of the river Barepat. Last year archaeologists found in
    Kalavan early Bronze age graves with remarkable ceramic and metal
    articles. Deeper exploration revealed stone constructions, obsidian
    and flint quarries, primitive weapons, bones of animals with spearheads
    inside. Experts say that this may be not just one site but a settlement
    consisting of several Stone Age camps.

    The most remarkable finds are weapons of jasper, flint and obsidian
    - mostly spearheads, cutters and scrapers. Experts infer that the
    Kalavan settlers were hunters. They probably hunted goats and rams and
    processed their bones and skins. The radiocarbon and geo-morphological
    tests will show how primeval people lived there.
