Association

Ts BC 22 is a mere 0.12km southeast of Ts BC 15, within a dense constellation of burial clusters that also includes Ts BC 21 and 23 (map quad C4d).

Topography

The burials of Ts BC 22 are set on the lower southern slope of an extended bedrock ridge that forms the north border of a basin that drops slowly onto the Tsaghkahovit plain. This ridge is a terminal spur of Mt. Aragats, the leading edge of the volcanic massif enclosing the southern margin of the Tsaghkahovit Plain.

General Description

The 9 visible standard cromlechs in this cluster are largely buried and covered by sod. Only portions of the outer rings of the constructions are visible--no capstones. The burials are distributed broadly across an area measuring approximately 15m x 20m in size.
