By (author) I. Augé By (author) A.T. Baladian By (author) P. Dangles
Through eight archaeological sites, this volume sketches a picture of the eastern part of the historical province of Ayrarat. For each site, the study is based on unpublished survey work, supplemented by stratigraphic soil surveys, a re-examination of literary and epigraphic sources and, where possible, by consulting archives.
A travers la monographie de huit sites archeologiques, pour la plupart inedits ou n’ayant fait l’objet que de breves publications, l’ouvrage esquisse un tableau de la partie orientale de la province historique d’Ayrarat – correspondant aux regions administratives du Sirak et de l’Aragacotn dans l’actuelle Republique d’Armenie. L’histoire de ces terres de marches toujours tres disputees est dominee par l’opulente cite d’Ani. Aujourd’hui situee en Turquie, elle focalise l’attention des chercheurs depuis la fin du XIXe siecle. La mission archeologique francaise dont les travaux sont presentes dans cet ouvrage s’est d’abord consacree a l’etude du patrimoine monumental de cette ville-capitale (de 1998 a 2005). Puis elle s’est transportee sur la rive orientale de l’Axurean-Arpacay qui marque la frontiere moderne. Pendant sept ans, elle s’est interessee a des sites varies et complexes, associant des ouvrages a vocation defensive, cultuelle, economique, residentielle etc. Principalement actifs du Xe siecle au debut du XIVe siecle, ils integrent frequemment des monuments anterieurs a la conquete arabe de l’Armenie au VIIe siecle. Ils nous sont parvenus a travers les transformations d’une periode moderne non moins troublee. Pour chacun des sites, l’etude s’appuie sur un travail de releves inedit, complete par des sondages en stratigraphie du sol, un reexamen des sources litteraires et epigraphiques et, lorsque cela s’est avere possible, par la consultation d’archives.
Through eight archaeological sites, this volume sketches a picture of the eastern part of the historical province of Ayrarat. The history of these marsh lands is dominated by the opulent city of Ani. Today located in Turkey, it has been the focus of attention of researchers since the end of the 19th century. The French archaeological mission whose work is presented here studied the heritage of this region for seven years, finding varied and complex sites with defensive, religious, economic, and residential buildings. Mainly active from the 10th to the beginning of the 14th century, they frequently incorporate monuments that predate the Arab conquest of Armenia in the 7th century. For each site, the study is based on unpublished survey work, supplemented by stratigraphic soil surveys, a re-examination of literary and epigraphic sources and, where possible, by consulting archives.
