As
a result of the archaeological dig in the territory of
Agstafa region, through which the Baku-Tbilisi-Jeyhan oil
and South Caucasus gas pipelines pass, scientists of the
Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National
Academy of Sciences have discovered ancient mound dating
back to the 4th millennium B.C.
The
finding considered to be the most ancient one of this kind
in the Southern Caucasus testifies that the tradition of
manufacturing burial stones in that region first began in Arran
(today the Republic Azerbaijan), and later spread to the
Northern Caucasus.
