Association

Ge BC 6 is located 0.77km northwest (bearing 287°) of Poloz-Sar (map quad E5i).

Topography

This burial cluster is located on the southern slope of the same Pambak hill as Ge BC 5, but the location is more gently sloped and considerably less rocky. The more significant soil deposits and less intense erosion seem to have contributed substantially to the overall preservation of the burials. But outcrops of exposed granite are still visible between the burials.

General Description

Ge BC 6 is approximately 150m in extent from east to west and 25m north to south. The group includes between 13-18 standard style cromlechs distributed evenly across the site. Compared to the installations in nearby Gegharot BC 5, these cromlechs are significantly larger and more carpentered. They vary in size from approximately 3.5m to almost 8m in diameter.

Features & Materials

No surface materials.

Feature 1: is a standard cromlech 4.6m in diameter north-south and 4.1m east-west. The burial is slightly unusual in that it is constructed with two circumscribed outer rings. The masonry of the ring is of slightly worked granite blocks but none of the capstones are visible.
