The Armenian-Italian Joint Expedition to Dvin Report of 2024 Activities

This report aims to show the results of the fourth excavation campaign at Dvin/Dabīl (Armenia), conducted by the Armenian-Italian research group in Autumn 2024. The excavations involved three areas in distinct sectors of the city: the southern portion of the Lower Fortress, where the 2021 square was deepened and enlarged; the so-called ‘Market’ area, where the 2021 excavations were expanded and a micro-stratigraphic trench was opened; and the excavations of the Tiknuni Areas 1000 and 2000. Additionally, research has started on the analysis of pottery carried out between 2022 and the last year’s excavation. We also presented the first results concerning research on faunal remains.
