New archeological findings in Azerbaijan
Unique archeological samples have been found during excavations near the Mireshelli village of Azerbaijan's southwestern Aghdam region.
Senior researcher at the Archeology and Ethnography Institute, Prof. Hidayat Jafarov, said the found samples date back to the 12-11th centuries BCE.
"The jars found during the archeological research were identified as the samples of necropolis, a large elaborate cemetery of an ancient city," Jafarov said. "Such cemeteries have been found rarely so far, and such archeological findings are called an oaken necropolis. Such samples allow getting detailed information about the ancient history."
The researcher said the ceramics samples found at the site were also considered unique.
"Such unique samples of cemeteries allow us to research the habits and traditions of ancient tribes. These necropolis samples have a great significance for learning our history," he added.
