Archaeological site of Janavartepe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Janavartepe archaeological settlement is located approximately 700 meters north of Tainaq village in the Aghjabadi District of Azerbaijan. The site lies on the right slope of the Shirkhan Gobu ravine and is positioned atop a natural hill that rises up to 4 meters in height. Measuring roughly 120 meters in diameter, Janavartepe is a part of the Leylatepe culture of the Chalcolithic period. The southeastern portion of the settlement has sustained damage from modern bulldozing, with disturbances reaching a depth of approximately 2.3 meters.[1][2][3] According to radiocarbon analysis, the Chalcolithic settlement of Janavartepe dates to the 39th-35th centuries BC.[4]
