Abstract

Studying the Eneolithic Period and Early Bronze Age has always been one of the major problems of the Caucasus archeology. Ovchulartepe settlement is one of the monuments representing the both aforementioned periods in a wide range. Plenteous tangible cultural patterns were discovered in the settlement as a result of systematic archaeological investigations conducted during 2007-2013. Investigations conducted by both local and foreign researchers studied the remains of Ovchulartepe, ceramic products, fauna and flora, metal items, labor tools and so on. As a result of research work, it become known that people had started to settle in Ovchulartepe from  the middle of the  5th millennium BC, and there is a notable opportunity to study their economic and cultural relations with the countries of the Near East.
