Association

On the far southern limit of the Tsaghkahovit survey cluster, Ts BC 104 is 2.76km southeast (bearing 153°) of Tsaghkahovit fortress. Just 150m to the south is a high ridgeline of young lava which marks the southern extent of Mt. Aragats's burials (map quad B4h).

Topography

The burials of Ts BC 104 lie on the east and west edges of a north-south oriented ridgeline. There are no visible burials in the center of the ridgeline, perhaps due to disturbance in the area.

General Description

Both the east and west segments of this cluster are made up of standard and spiral cromlechs, 4.5-7m in diameter. The cluster includes an estimated 30 burials, but this number does not take into account possible disturbed or submerged burials that may have occupied the center of the ridgeline. The cromlechs are built of medium-sized, unworked, and shaped basalt blocks.
