Today was the first day of fieldwork, with Alan, Salpi, Karen, Chris, and Samvel driving. We started the day ground truthing the fortress of 'Aver Berd' that Alan found on the Monuments List; it's located on a promontory overlooking the village of Lusagyugh. There was some additional small sale architecture the team recorded at the base of the fortress hill as well, though it may be for field clearance or animal management rather than domestic architecture. After lunch we spend the rest of the day ground truthing a couple of churches and monastery ruins located in and around Lusagyugh village.
