Ancient Settlement in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. A settlement dating from the Lower Palaeolithic associated with some of the oldest salt mines in the world.
The site of Ovchular Tepesi is located at the top of a natural hill in the valley of the Arpaçay River (Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan). This settlement is composed of Late Chalcolithic (LC) and Early Bronze Age (EBA) occupations layers. The site has been excavated since 2006 within the frame of a French-Azeri joint project.
