The Qaraso\u00fd kurgans extend along the plain at the southwestern foothills of the ridge where the Keshikchidagh caves are located. The area, consisting of steppe-like terrain, hosts kurgans positioned at intervals of approximately 10\u201315 meters from one another.<br \/>\nThe kurgans vary in size, with larger ones having diameters of 20\u201325 meters and smaller ones measuring 10\u201315 meters in diameter. The majority of these burial mounds are encircled by cromlechs. These cromlechs, which are clearly visible at first glance, form circular enclosures around the base of the kurgans. In the larger kurgans, the cromlechs are composed of massive rock boulders, while in the smaller ones, they are constructed using relatively smaller river stones and slab-like rocks. In both cases, the stones used are predominantly rectangular and elongated in shape. The upper covering of the kurgans varies: in some cases, it consists entirely of small river stones, whereas in others, it is made of soil mixed with gravel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallerify-container\"><div class=\"gallerify\" data-allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-nav=\"thumbs\" data-keyboard=\"true\"  data-autoplay=\"false\" data-trackpad=\"false\" data-ratio=\"800\/500\" data-width=\"96%\"><img src=\"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kesikcidag-Qarasoy-kurqanin-dron-goruntusu.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Qarasoy-kurqani.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_20231004_114731_196.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20230920-WA0049-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1176\" alt=\"\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20230921-WA0038.jpg\" width=\"1599\" height=\"758\" alt=\"\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Qaraso\u00fd Kurgans<br \/>\nLocation: Jeyranchol, Keshikchidagh Kurgan Valley<br \/>\nDate of Discovery: September 7, 2023 \u2013 October 6, 2023<br \/>\nPeriod: Late Bronze \u2013 Early Iron Age (Khojaly-Gadabay Culture)<br \/>\nThe Qaraso\u00fd plain, as part of the low-mountainous Jeyrancho&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[51],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12663"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12663"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12670,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12663\/revisions\/12670"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keshikchidagh-heritage.az\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
