Leading research fellow of the Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology of ANAS, PhD in History Vagif Asadov, informed the visitors about the excavation process, the historical significance of the discovered archaeological materials, and their role in studying the social life, burial customs, and cultural traditions of ancient times.
The project “Scientific-Archaeological Excavations in Keshikchidag and Summer School 6” holds great significance in terms of scientifically studying Azerbaijan’s ancient history and rich cultural heritage, preserving archaeological monuments, and passing them on to future generations. The project also serves to convey scientific knowledge to a broader audience, increase youth interest in history and archaeology, and enrich theoretical knowledge with practical observations. Such educational visits are of special importance for strengthening the connection of teachers and students from higher and vocational education institutions to the national-cultural heritage, instilling the importance of preserving historical monuments, and promoting archaeological research to the public.
