ARCHAEOLOGY OF ARMENIA IN REGIONAL CONTEXT, Proceedings of the International Conference dedicated to the 60th Anniversary of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography Held on July 9-11, 2019 in Yerevan, 2021

village of Lernakert on the northeastern slopes of Aragats Mountain. Five trenches on the fortified hill and two tombs
on its slopes were excavated. The findings show relatively complicated weir system, like cyclopean structures, glacis, or
protective terraces. The archaeological data indicate two occupation periods: the oldest findings and one tomb are dated
to the Late Bronze age, whereas the second phase shows an intensive use of the hill during the Early Hellenistic period.
Numerous indices for agricultural activities and cattle breeding in Veri Berd were revealed. In this sense, a cup mark
for cereal processing, bones of domesticated and wild animals, as well as milk processing vessels should be mentioned.
The archaeological excavations in Veri Berd provide new archaeological material from almost unknown site. For more
comprehensive research questions, further investigations are required.

were used in daily rations, most of which consisted of products from small and large cattle.
The prevalence of the latter is evident in high quality breeding, as large cattle had superiority in meat production.
There were 8 types of animals. In total 56 individual animals were registered, out of which 21 were domestic, from them: small and large cattle (13 sheep, 8 goats, 16 cows/bulls), 6 horses (Equus caballus), և 6 pigs (sus scrofa domestica) and the rest were wild animals: 1 red deer (Cervus elaphus), 5 European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and
one rodent (Tables 1-2, 6).
