Association

Located 1.62km due north (bearing 0°) of Gegharot fortress and 0.70km southeast (bearing 331°), this small cluster is just 150m north of Ge BC 9 (map quad E4g). It is quite possible that Ge BC 10 is, in fact, an extension of Ge BC 9, their separation created by subsequent taphonomic processes.

Topography

Built atop a low ridge that dips into ravines to the east and west, the area appears to be less deflated than other surrounding places.

General Description

Ge BC 10 is a small cluster of cobble and standard cromlechs. The standard cromlechs are built of granite and basalt blocks. The cobble burials are constructed of mounded rings of granite cobbles. The entire cluster extends from north to south along the ridge for only 110m.

Features & Materials
