1/3 Buzand Str., Yerevan 0010, RA
Shengavit is the most famous and well-studied multi-layered, 4 meters deep Early Bronze Age monument in Armenia, occupying an irregular oval-shaped platform with an area of 6 hectares. The settlement was surrounded by a mighty wall built of rough stones. Under the wall, on the northern side, a paved underground passage leading down to the Hrazdan river was discovered, and the tomb field extended beyond the wall. The structures of Shengavit testify to both the persistence of centuries-old building traditions and certain progress in construction. Since August 2000, studies have been conducted by a joint Armenian-American archaeological expedition led by archaeologist Hakob Simonyan.
Currently, the ancient site represents interconnected dwellings with round or square bases, and sloping and narrow streets.
