YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 12, ARMENPRESS: The archaeologists have found another archive fact during the excavations in Artashat this year. The Director of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia Pavel Avetisyan told Armenpress that the archive of the findings is exclusive, as it dates back to the 3-4th centuries. “We have excavated more than 800 seals in 2013. The recent findings are new and quite important facts”, - he said.
Avetisyan stated that there are the images of the kings and their names depicted on the seals.
The excavations of 2007 showed that on the territory of the ancient Artashat 150,000 people lived, which is 6 times more than the current population of Artashat.
On June 10 2008 a group of Armenian archaeologists, headed by the Director of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia Pavel Avetisyan, began the excavations in Artashat and in the result they found an entire system of ancient bathhouses.
