  1. Artefactsfrom the large wood structures found in the Mount Ararat

  2. It appears that the wood construction was visited in different periods. Ceramic wares from Chalcolithic (5,800-3,000 B.C.), Bronze Age (3,000-1,200 B.C.) and other periods were placed in or near the structure. These artifacts most likely represent brief visits to the site during the different periods since these vessels differ from the Epipaleolithic remains that comprise most of the assemblage. Site also possesses botanical remains, flax fibers and cord, pieces of fabric, bone tools, wood artifacts, and vessels made of an organic material.

  3. Due to the lack of Radiocarbon dating and context of findings I have to use the Relative dating. Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e., the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their absolute age, (i.e. estimated age)

  10. These sites are important to archaeologists and conservators, particularly with regard to the preservation of wood and plant materials and the examination of architectural features. The Ararat sites are very special because of their preservation and unique insight into the historic past.
