Applications of the internet of things in agriculture
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Bondarenko D. A.
Published: March 2023

The article examines the methods of implementing Internet of Things technologies in the agricultural sector, suggests the use of artificial intelligence and neural networks in combination with the Internet of Things to improve the results of growing various plants. The advantages of neural networks, which are able to process large arrays of data on the activity of agricultural formations much faster and more efficiently than an experienced specialist, are also considered. However, for this, the primary information for training the network should be prepared in a format that is understandable for it. Obtaining up-to-date and objective information about the condition of plants using the Internet of Things will improve the exchange of information between specialists and expert consultants. Modern agriculture needs to have a high production efficiency combined with a high quality of obtained products. This applies to both crop and livestock production. To meet these requirements, advanced methods of data analysis are more and more frequently used, including those derived from artificial intelligence methods. IoT is one of the most popular tools of this kind. It is widely used in solving various classification and prediction tasks. For some time IoT also been used in the broadly defined field of agriculture. It can form part of the precision farming and decision support systems. IoT and artificial neural networks can replace the classical methods of modeling, and are one of the main alternatives to classical mathematical models. The spectrum of the applications of artificial neural networks is very wide. For a long time now, researchers from all over the world have been using these tools to support agricultural production, making it more efficient and providing the highest-quality products possible.
Errors of recovery of signals in multi-channel communication systems with orthogonal modulation
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Klobukova L. P.
Published: March 2023

The errors of restoration of original continuous signals in digital communication systems with orthogonal modulation of equidistant subcarriers (the so-called OFDM technology) are considered. The theory of radio engineering circuits and signals is applied as a scientific and technical basis of the problem. The spectra of discrete signals were analyzed, the influence of violations of the conditions of Kotelnikov's theorem and the asymptotics of the recovery errors of the original continuous signals were investigated. Methods of analyzing composite signals with arbitrary selection of the sampling frequency of spaced subcarriers have been developed, and quantitative estimates of the quality of signal recovery on the receiving side using Euclidean distances have been obtained. . It is shown that when the amount of frequency shift of the basic series decomposition functions and the width of the spectrum of the main and side lobes in the spectrum of the output signal are matched, it is possible to count on the minimal influence of mutual interference and intersymbol interference of the composite signal. It was established that the correct selection of the sampling frequency of OFDM signals allows increasing the accuracy of signal recovery on the receiving side and the overall efficiency of the wireless communication system. In addition, with a dynamic change in the number of members of the decomposition series in wireless networks, the influence of frequency collisions, Gibbs ripples, and the level of intersystem interference is reduced. Graphical analysis of the results of the series expansion on the quasi-orthogonal system of basis functions shows that the errors of restoration of the original signals can reach unacceptable values. It was also established that when expanding into a non-orthogonal series with a larger number of members, the situation with the restoration of the original signals becomes a little more suitable, but guarantees of improving the situation with recovery errors can be given only when combining the correct selection of the sampling frequency with the number of members of the series expansion. This problem requires additional research of an analytical and computational nature.
Evaluation of the infocommunication network current state based on time series analysis
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Kryuchkova L. P.
Published: March 2023

The management of infocommunication networks operating in various physical environments and external conditions is a very important problem both from the standpoint of developing a control system and from the standpoint of implementing control in the process of functioning of an infocommunication network. The vast majority of modern infocommunication networks are forced to function in conditions of various kinds of conflict interactions, when electronic reconnaissance is carried out, radio countermeasures are organized, radio masking and protection from deliberately organized interference and destructive force effects are applied. Destructive influences are aimed at destroying information flows circulating between network elements; decrease in the speed of information exchange between elements of the control system, which significantly increases the duration of the control cycle and, as a result, reduces the efficiency of network management; ensuring sufficiently massive and long-term failure of network technical means. The specified operating conditions require the network management system to make accurate and timely management decisions to prevent undesirable consequences. The publication considers the method of situational management of the infocommunication network as the most promising for ensuring effective management on a real-time scale in conditions of destructive influences. The essence of the method consists in the selection of control solutions from a defined set of permissible control influences based on the results of the assessment of the current state of the infocommunication network. Changes in the functional states of the network are achieved through purposeful control influences on functional elements specially designed for their perception and processing. The purpose of the publication is to develop a general approach to assessing the current state of the infocommunication network based on time series analysis. Elements of novelty of the presented solution are consideration of the well-known problem of ensuring interference resistance of the infocommunication network as a problem of managing situations in the conditions of interference, as well as the use of template sequences describing the conditions of network operation.
Synthesis of optimal coherent reception of multiposition signals in modern mobile networks
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Blazhennyy N. V.
Published: March 2023

The research results of optimal coherent reception of multiposition signals in modern mobile networks are presented. The implementation of algorithms and devices provides the maximum possible noise immunity when all possible variants of the transmitted signal at the input of the demodulator are known a priori with high accuracy of the information parameter. By reducing a priori information about the received signal, it is possible to synthesize other methods of reception that are optimal under the appropriate conditions. The coherent processing algorithms of multiposition amplitude-phase modulation and amplitude-phase-difference modulation signals that are convenient for multichannel (multifrequency) systems with orthogonal channel signals are considered. In multichannel systems, for the distribution of orthogonal signals, the procedure for calculating the projections of the received signal on two mutually orthogonal oscillations with an arbitrary initial phase is used. The proposed algorithms for coherent signal processing do not require adjustment of the phase of the reference oscillations of channel signals and enable to implement both the orthogonal distribution of signals and their coherent reception.

Magic, Conversion,
and Prayer in Shakespeare’s The Tempest
Authors: Matković Sanja
Published: March 2023

This paper deals with the concepts of magic, conversion to Christianity, and prayer in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest. Employing New Historicism and using Christian writings, it analyses Prospero’s prayer and conversion, which have so far been neglected by scholars in favor of magic, and juxtaposes them to magic. This reading supports the underrepresented view of Prospero’s magic as heretical and punishable, suggests that Prospero’s abjuration of magic is comparable to the deliverance from the occult and conversion to Christianity, and reveals the first interpretation of Prospero’s prayer. Namely, prayer, following Prospero’s conversion, is represented by Shakespeare as the true and ultimate value of human life and the antithesis to magic.
LINA KOSTENKO’S WORKS IN THE ORIGINAL AND IN GERMAN TRANSLATION
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, PASLAWSKA Alla
Published: March 2023

The present article analyses the poetic work of Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko. The formation of the author as a personality, her participation in the protest movement against the Soviet regime are traced. The works and the leading theme of Lina Kostenko’s work, the peculiarities of her style are systematised. The characteristic stylistic devices as well as linguistic means of the poetry by Lina Kostenko are outlined. The main attention is focused on the translation of the Lina Kostenko’s poems done by the Austrian literary critic and translator Alois Woldan. The German translation of Kostenko’s poetry published in the bilingual German-Ukrainian collection “I znovu proloh” (en. “Prologue Again”) is analysed, the main translation strategies and methods are determined. Lina Kostenko is a consummate Ukrainian poet, an extraordinary, independed, unique and uncompromising figure, who, unlike other Ukrainians, does not need to ‘rise from her knees’, since under no circumstances she would kneel down. The comprehensive study of Lina Kostenko’s work, her unique authorial voice, theme of works and their linguistic implementation are topical today. Only few translators dared to translate the works of Lina Kostenko, because it is really a difficult task. So, we can only welcome the attempt of the Austrian literary critic and translator Alois Woldan to reproduce the poetic language of this outstanding Ukrainian poet. Lina Kostenko’s lyrics are exquisitely simple, but this simplicity is achieved by the perfection of all components of the poetic work – by concise wording, its aphoristic presentation, immaculate rhyme, semantic condensation of every word, variety of rhythms. Lina Kostenko has no words only for the sake of rhyme, everything sounds natural, logical, without haste. Man is the main character of her work, man as a part of nature, of the universe. If there is no dignity, inner harmony, understanding with the world around us, then this world around us disappears or degenerates into the “atomic black candle” of Chernobyl. The German translation of Kostenko’s poetry by Alois Woldan solves an extremely difficult combination of preserving the form and the content in the target text.
THE PECULIARITIES OF WORD FORMATION OF THE NEW AMERICAN PHRASEOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS
Authors:   Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs, MAKSIMOVA Anna
Published: March 2023

The development of language is largely due to the development of its word-forming system, the formation of new word-forming models, changing existing ones, increasing or decreasing their productivity and many other factors of the word-forming process. In addition to phrases, telescopes, and word formation, American phraseology includes acronyms and affixes. Metaphors and metonymy are used to create innovative American phraseology. Metaphor is a necessary means of expression in language because it is inherent in human thinking and language. Metaphor is a powerful means of expressing symbolic meanings. The uniqueness of metaphorical transfers lies in the possibility of creating features that have no analogues in the system of means of direct nomination. The image-analytical structure of the metaphor allows to convey the meaning of any degree of complexity and semantic configuration. Metaphor arises in the assimilation of one phenomenon to another on the basis of semantic similarity of states, properties and actions that characterize these phenomena. From a formal point of view, metaphorical transfer is the use of a word (phrase, sentence) intended to denote certain objects (situations). Innovative American phraseology is dominated by phrases and their number is 148. New phraseology is the predominant trend in the process of creating new words, telescope 35, word formation also occupies an important place word formation and has 25. In the process of word formation of new words affixation of 11 words is also used, abbreviation 2 words and abbreviations 2. In summary, the main way to create new words in innovative American phraseology in economics and business is new phraseology, which we believe will be the leading way to create innovative American phraseology in the next decade, pushing telescopes to second place. Phrases are the leading way to create innovative American phrases in economics and business, and word formation and telescope are not left out. Analyzing phraseology in this area by semantic analysis, metaphor is most often observed, followed by irony and metonymy. In our opinion, it is advisable to determine in which areas it is formed, to analyze its features.

The Article explains in detail about genres and stylistic features of the scientific style of the English language. The key and theoretical foundations on the concept of scientific style of the English language are outlined as followed: • A detailed analysis of the features of the Scientific style. • The criteria on how the differences are carried out. The article analyzes the linguistic scientist and defines leading additional linguistic stylist factors of the scientific study. This proved the scientific styles is a complete language formation, it was historically formed, it has a socially conscious type of language with a united grammatical structure based of the principle of logic, contains meaningful messages, a single structural grammatical form, and represents the scientific sphere of the communication. In English (both orally and written), the scientific style characterizes the closeness, informative saturation, hidden emotional, connectivity, logic of construction, various types of lexical, grammatical, logical, stylistic connection and has a certain grammatical instruction. In addition to, the scientific style is inherent in the generalized-abstract nature of the presentation of: the materials, the semantic accuracy and objectivity that determines the choice of meanings for the registration of cognitive information. Which, in turn, are within strict conventional limits. This proves the need to pay special attention to the ways of expressing the scientific style of English, the development of scientific style, and takes into account a number of lexical and grammatical techniques aimed at adhering to the basic principles of scientific discourse.

Published: March 2023

Foreign language learner autonomy is a key capacity of a successful person in the 21st century due to the growing need for life-long education in the conditions of Euro integration and globalization. Modern educational institutions try to incorporate various means and forms of learning to develop learner autonomy. The article aims at the investigation of the peculiarities of Foreign Languages classroom design as a factor of foreign language learner autonomy development. Special emphasis is placed on the idea of Foreign Languages classroom zoning. The authors outline necessary equipment and strategies of its use in the process of autonomous students’ work in the Word Corner, Language Portfolio, Library and Face the Challenge Zones. The use of such educational facilities as Wordwall, Word Maps, Personal Tokens, Washing Line as means to decorate the classroom and promote foreign language learner’s autonomy is described too. The article suggests several approaches to short-term and long-term planning of student autonomous work in the Foreign Languages school classroom in the “Face the Challenge” zone. The simplicity, mobility and cost-effectiveness of the suggested facilities (furniture, seating, decorations) are their main advantages for both teachers and students. Rainbow design of work zones, materials and facilities in Foreign Languages classroom is presented as a way to integrate them all to represent the idea of student equality, unity and collaboration. The choice of rainbow design of the Foreign Languages classroom is approved by its aesthetic attractiveness, positive informal associations and universal awareness by teachers, students and parents. Suggested ideas of Foreign Languages classroom zoning and design of its educational environment are investigated as means to develop 21century 4C skills of critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration.

Authors: YANKOVETS O. , ISAIEVA I. ,   Bohdan Khmelnytsky National Academy of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine
Published: March 2023

Geopolitical, as well as social and political events in the life of any country are always reflected in the language – both in the state language and in the foreign languages, which describe the situation in the world. The Russian-Ukraine war is no exception. The world’s most influential leaders, the United States and Britain, have been providing financial and moral support to Ukraine since the first days of the war with Russia. The leaders of these states clearly and consistently express their pro-Ukrainian position, support Ukraine financially and morally. During his visit to Kyiv, Boris Johnson analyses the situation in Ukraine, admires the Ukrainian people, and convinces them not to give up, but to continue the struggle. The purpose of Boris Johnson’s speech is to convince Ukrainians that they will definitely defeat the enemy and that Ukraine will be free. Boris Johnson uses a large number of linguistic means (the morphological, syntactic, lexical and stylistic ones) to achieve persuasiveness. Boris Johnson’s speech is characterized by the use of personal and possessive pronouns of the first and second person, tense forms (including present and future), different types of sentences (simple, compound and complex sentences), a rhetorical question, political and military terms, toponyms and anthroponyms, realia and others. The author also uses artistic means and expressive techniques: epithets, metaphors, comparisons, anaphors and proverbs. The combination of the author’s means and methods create a holistic picture of the author’s intention – to analyze the situation in Ukraine in detail, to express their own attitude to the war, to encourage Ukrainians to fight, and to emphasize the support of Britain.

Published: March 2023

The article discusses the lack of professional interest in intercultural interaction as one of the modern problems of teaching philology students. Attention is paid to the role of intercultural interaction in the professional activities of philologists, to the theoretical understanding of the mechanisms for increasing the efficiency of its formation in the course of professional training. In the study, the professional interest of philology students in intercultural interaction is interpreted as a cognitive and activity orientation of the individual to master knowledge, skills and abilities to establish mutual understanding, productive dialogue, interaction and cooperation with representatives of other cultures and languages, acting as a stimulator of personality activity during the period of professional training. The theoretical and practical significance of the work lies in the direction of its results to improve the process of professional and personal development of philology students, in the development of mechanisms to increase the efficiency of forming their professional interest in multicultural interaction. The author proposes a technology for the formation of professional interest in intercultural interaction, which is a set of interrelated methodological, organizational, methodological and diagnostic blocks that determine the selection, layout and procedure for using forms, methods and teaching aids to achieve the planned result in the course of professional training of philology students. In addition, a necessary factor in increasing the effectiveness of the formation of professional interest in intercultural interaction is the pedagogical monitoring of its formation at all stages of the professional training of future philologists.
PRAGMATIC ASPECTS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN POLITICAL AND WAR DISCOURSE
Authors: KULISH V. , KOVAL H. ,   Sumy State University
Published: March 2023

After the events of February 24, 2022, the entire civilized world became chained to Ukraine. Political figures and authoritative mass media could not stand aside from the war in Ukraine, condemning the actions of the aggressor country and supporting the Ukrainian people in their difficult struggle. Of course, when expressing their position, politicians used phraseological units to give their language expressiveness and emotionality. In general, the idioms they used to indicate their negative or neutral attitude can be classified according to their structure, the presence of a metaphorical element, and their origin. It is interesting that most of the idioms used are of military or political origin, although there are also those that come from sports, seafaring, aviation, litigation and money. Analyzing phraseological units by structure, it becomes clear that politicians most often use phraseological units consisting of a verb and a postpositive, and taking into account the metaphorical meaning, the most common in military-political discourse are idioms.
TYPOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY BETWEEN H. SKOVORODA’S POETRIES AND CALDERON DE LA BARCA’S DRAMA “LIFE IS A DREAM”
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, PAPUSHYNA V.
Published: March 2023

The article traces the typological controversy of H. Skovoroda’s poetries and Calderon de la Barca’s drama “Life is a Dream” in the context of Baroque literature. The closeness of the artists’ searches and discoveries in their worldview, humanitarian and aesthetic concepts, related with the Baroque era, is evident in the works of Calderon de la Barca and H. Skovoroda. In the foreground, the writers put forward the need for man, whose spiritual world is the arena of the duel between good and evil, to determine the place in the Universe and on Earth. It is emphasized that the main discovery of the philosophy of the Ukrainian artist H. Skovoroda is the problem of man, his happiness and ways to achieve it. In the works of the wandering philosopher, man acts as the measure of all that exists, because before knowing the huge and symbolic world, he must know himself. Skovoroda considered happiness to be the most important thing for a person. Happiness must be built on an unshakable foundation, which is invisibility, it does not depend on either earth or heaven. Each person has his own nature, so you can choose an occupation in “controversy” with this nature. The fate of Calderon, as the creator of baroque aesthetics, is a knot of contradictions of his era. The writer combines philosophical reflections on the meaning of human life, on the search for truth, the place in society, a person’s understanding of himself with ardent propaganda of religious fanaticism and self-denial. Despite the fact that the path of Calderon’s heroes to the realization of the meaning of being is difficult and thorny, full of losses, disappointments and doubts, the writer believes that a person is capable of defeating himself and standing in the face of inexorable fate. The aesthetic ideal of a person, built in his works, led readers and viewers to the awakening of the soul, to productive work on the way to the realization of their hidden possibilities, to the disclosure of the secrets of existence, to the search for truth. The world of symbols and allegories as a vivid reflection of baroque aesthetics brings G. Skovoroda and Calderon de la Barca closer together in the idea that the purpose of man as a social being is to wake up to life, make the world around him better, and move towards the highest absolute.
ARTISTIC REPORT IN THE STRUCTURE OF «FICTION ON A SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND» BY DOKIA GUMENNA: FROM ORIGIN TO IMPLEMENTATION
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, КOZYNSKYI L. , BOBKO A. ,   Bandurіvsky Lyceum Hayvoron city council of Kirovohrad region
Published: March 2023

The article examines the specifics of Dokia Humenna’s reporting integration of scientific material collected by archaeologists at different times in the lands of Ukraine into the artistic structure of her «fiction on a scientific background». Attention is drawn to the writer’s reading preferences, first literary attempts, work as a reporter, ethnographer, participation in archaeological expeditions, extensive preparatory work in libraries, which are the basis of her science fiction works on historical topics. The author’s definitions of genre belonging to the works and the analysis of their scientific reception are analyzed. It was concluded that the essayistic reporting component of the works on the historical past is significant due to the subjectivity of the interpretation of known phenomena of the past, the inconsistency of the presentation, the arbitrariness of the flow of speech, the open «non-linearity», and it was concluded that the author achieved her goal – to cause a resonance among scientists who began to check artistic works on scientific credibility, thereby attracting the interest of a wide range of readers. It is proposed to consider her essays, fairy tales, novels, novels, printed in the second half of the 20th century, as a kind of artistic reports from the «production sites» of archaeologists, historians’ offices, and historical museums. It is proven that the writer was able to integrate scientific works on archeology and history of Ukraine, in accordance with her creative plan, into the text to cover the events of the 1930s in Ukraine. For the first time, we brought up the question of the reportage of Dokia Gumenna’s prose and proposed to study her work from such a point of view, especially when studying the topic of «reportage».

Cognitive links between mountains and lowlands: balance weights from the Early Bronze Age site of Shengavit (Armenia) in context
Authors: Simonyan Hakob , Gevorgyan Aram , Bobokhyan Arsen
Published: March 2023

The timespan from the mid 4th to the mid 3rd millennium BC is characterised by essential social transformations in the Near East and surrounding regions. The growing complexity is reflected, among others, also in technological innovations and active trade relations, which led to the appearance of balance weights and corresponding weight systems. This contribution, based on evidence from the settlement of Shengavit, Armenia, argues that balance weights were in use also beyond Mesopotamia, within the area of the spreading of Kura-Araxes cultural community, from the southern Caucasus to the Fertile Crescent. The use of such weight systems at Kura-Araxes sites implies possible cognitive links to the Near Eastern centres, reflecting the transfer of knowledge between mountains and lowlands.

Published: March 2023

This work is an analysis of two of the three four-sided stelae erected on the eastern side of the Zorats Church (1331) in the village of Yeghegis, Vayots Dzor province, Armenia. The third stele has not been preserved. On the first stele are depicted a cross and St George, the pan-Christian saint. The inscription is directed to God and St George, beseeching them for aid. This contribution discusses the issues of the chronology of the stelae, as well as the individual who ordered their construction. As a result of these analyses, it can be concluded that they were erected at the beginning of the 9th century by Archbishop Soghomon I – patriarch of Syunik at the time.

Writing a memorial about a mentor and a dear friend brings a lot of mixed feelings. So many times, I sat down to write and my mind was instantly filled with didactic moments and fond memories, both interweaving, coming to focus, and fading. I tried to maintain a coherent timeline, but my memory pales in comparison to Gregory’s. Few people have been blessed with such impeccable memory.
Three new archaeological sites in the Upper Euphrates region: Köteriç/Kotaric, Indere, and Obrukbaşı
Authors: Erdoğan Serkan , Sezgin Kudret
Published: March 2023

The archaeological researches of the 2018 ‘Iron Age and Hellenistic Period Tunceli survey’ were concentrated within the limits of the Mazgirt district, to the southeast of Tunceli. One of the focal points of the research is the İndere Valley, located between Güneyharman (Köteriç), Karabulut (Sorek), and Obrukbaşı (Lemk) villages, 39 km southeast of the Mazgirt district centre of Tunceli province. The 3.5 km long and 0.8 km wide valley extends in a southeast-northwest direction and displays a deep and sheltered geographical landscape. While the slope and hill settlements are seen on the outer borders of the İndere Valley, the prehistoric period rock shelters, rock-cut tombs, a large Iron Age settlement and a medieval church were identified inside the valley. Güneyharman (Köteriç) and Obrukbaşı settlements are also associated with the valley. The aim of this study is to localise the medieval place name ‘Citharizon’ in Köteriç. It is known as Kotarič in other medieval sources. After a few archaeological surveys, it became clear that the history of İndere Valley and its environs goes back to the prehistoric periods, and continues from the Early Bronze Age till the late Middle Ages.

Achaemenid ceramics from the site Beniamin II (Shirak, Armenia): the end of the 6th to the mid 4th centuries BC
Authors: Fichet de Clairfontaine François , Deschamps Stéphane
Published: March 2023

In Beniamin, not far from Gyumri, Armenia, at the foot of a hill on which an Achaemenid palace was built, several semi-excavated constructions dating back from the 6th-4th centuries BC were found. Hosting metallurgy workshops at the beginning of their existence, they were later the seat of a livestock activity. From artisanal iron workshop to long-house, they offer a double interest: They concern the economy of an Achaemenid palatial domain, and present a typical architecture of the Armenian plateau, very similar to the houses described by Xenophon in the 5th century BC, in the Anabasis, the epic of the Ten Thousand. Finally, six main periods of occupation were highlighted by the analysis of stratigraphic data and archaeological artifacts discovered. Continuing the first article devoted to architecture and its evolution, this contribution aims to present the catalogue of the productions collected in the Achaemenid levels of periods I to V. The evolution of these productions clearly attests the function of the buildings demonstrating essential similarities to that of the contemporary site of Tsaghkahovit. After the rapid disappearance of coarse and often decorated common forms (decorated black pottery – group 1A), the present catalogue of Achaemenid ceramics is mainly characterized by productions with red slip (Type 3), black common wares (Type 1b and C), with special predominance of productions of brown burnished ware (clear or polished – type 4). Painted ceramics are almost absent from the catalogue of productions.
The spatial Matryoshka doll: New perspectives on the settlement dynamic of the Kura-Araxes
Authors: Batiuk Stephen
Published: March 2023

Investigations into the Kura-Araxes have significantly accelerated over the past two decades, of which Ruben Badalyan has been a leading figure. Of particular interest is the spread of the Kura-Araxes sites across a large portion of the Near East, whose number has significantly grown over the past two decades due to the increase of surveys in the Middle East and Caucasia. While many have focused on the meaning of this increase in settlement vis-à-vis migration, trade or cultural assimilation, few have delved stratigraphically into the data like Badalyan to look for patterns to illuminate our understandings of the Kura-Araxes. This paper represents a preliminary examination of the newer larger database of Kura-Araxes settlement, exploring the intersection between various spatial and environmental contexts, and what it might mean to our understandings of the Kura-Araxes.
Transformations in the Caucasus: Cultural interactions and movements of people from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age
Authors: Lyonnet Bertille
Published: March 2023

Based upon archaeological data and the first results of genomic studies, the article aims at understanding the successive cultural transformations at work in the Caucasus area (North and South) and along the Euphrates, starting from the Neolithic period up to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE. Long lasting cultural interactions with northern Mesopotamia are observed from the Neolithic to the middle of the 4th millennium. Questions are raised concerning the introduction of the black (and red) polished pottery during the 4th millennium that led to the formation of the Kura-Araxes and Novosvobodnaja cultures. Other questions concern the rich cist-burials that appear mainly on a North-South axis along the Euphrates at the end of that millennium. Although many changes and developments can be explained by the circulation of small groups of people coming from the same original genomic pool for trade and exchange, the intrusion of small alien groups from Central Europe seems possible in the second half of the 4th millennium.
Early Bronze Age settlement from ancient city Samshvilde
Authors: Shanshashvili Nino , Narimanishvili Goderdzi
Published: March 2023

A settlement of the Kura-Araxes culture was discovered on the territory of the ancient city of Samshvilde. Houses of the Early Bronze Age were excavated west of the Temple of Sioni of Samshvilde in of 50-70 m. The houses are damaged by pits and walls of the medieval era. The walls of the houses are so fragmented that the plan of housing is difficult to determine. In the northern part of the excavation site, only a small part of a stone wall and a shelf have survived. Both of these structures are built of basalt stones. The shelf was covered with a clay solution. On the shelf were placed grain grinders and mortars, flint inserts of a sickle, and ceramic vessels of various sizes. At the base of the shelf there was placed a rectangular slab, the surface of which was covered with intricate geometrical décor. At the base of the shelf there were also placed fragments of a large vessels and ceramics of various sizes. Almost all ceramics are richly ornamented with spiral and linear décor. A similar decor is typical for ceramics of the late stage of the Kura-Araxes culture of Kvemo Kartli, Armenia and Iran. The Early Bronze Age ceramics, which were discovered on the Samshvilde settlement belong to the late stage of the Kura-Araxes culture and dates back to the 28th-27th centuries. BC.
New data on the construction and meaning of the Shengavit settlement wall
Authors: Simonyan Hakob , Rothman Mitchell S
Published: March 2023

Shengavit is a site of the Kura-Araxes cultural tradition, which radiocarbon dates and pottery style indicate spans its second phase, the KA2, from 2900 to 2500 BC. It also documents the transition to the Early Kurgan Period. The six-hectare site gives indications that it was a center for this time and place. Unlike the societies of the KA1 of 3500-3000 BC, we recovered evidence of the development of increased societal complexity while retaining an egalitarian symbolism. One of these signs is the construction of a massive stone wall with watchtowers, which we think surrounded the top of a bluff over the Hrazdan River. The effort needed to plan and recruit the labor to construct this wall, along with a profusion of large grain storage pits greater in volume than needed by residents of the site, point to the origin of some coordination mechanisms at the site. Still, some have questioned the Kura-Araxes date for the settlement wall. We discuss these issues and present new findings about the wall in this contribution, made in honor of Ruben Badalyan, who himself has done so much to promote our knowledge of the Kura-Araxes in Armenia.
