YEREVAN, JUNE 5, ARMENPRESS: Armenian and French archaeologists will conduct test excavations for the first time this year to study the hunting ambushes registered in some areas of the Republic of Armenia and the settlements nearby them. The hunting ambushes may provide some information about the early animal husbandry. The Director of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography Pavel Avetisyan told Armenpress that the preliminary studies show that we deal with archaeological objects.

The archaeologists hope that based on the data, found in the result of the excavations, it will be possible to record Neolithic-era monuments, when the man domesticated animals for the first time.“They can tell us how the prehistoric man hunted and domesticated the wild animals”, - stated Avetisyan.
