Our work today was transect-heavy, focusing on N-S lines north of T'tjur village, as we move east toward Dzoraglukh village. While much of the area was rather barren of archaeological sites and surface materials, our obsidian collections spiked as we approached the drainage/switchback road that heads north into the Tsaghkunyats directly north of the village. That drainage is associated with the T'tvakar source. Thus, while many of our collection may be simple natural obsidian pieces, a great number of them also showed clear evidence of human working, associating them with the monuments list "open air" stone age site 2.46.1.
After transecting, we had a late lunch and then groundtruthed sites within T'tjur village and southeast of there, in the southern valley fork (in the direction of the Razdan). The first was a set of cement and stone buildings, part of an ameliorated village called "Sari Bud," as recounted to us by a local shepherd. To the east of Sari Bud, was another collection of isolated architectural elements. The local shepherd noted that other settlements lie in the same valley to the north and south.
