| It is situated in Asagiaktas Village which is located 24 km northwest of Tuzluca District in Igdir. Aras River runs north of the fortress. It was surveyed by A. Bingöl et al in 2008. The rock grave is located at a protected spot south of the fortress. The rock grave with a single room and a single bench is in good condition thanks to its protected location. Rock steps are located west of the large rock where the rock grave was built. The south of the rock grave was used during EBA and Iron Age and the north and northwest directions were used mostly during Medieval Age. Small amount of obsidian, EBA, Iron Age and Medieval Age sherds were identified during studies [Bingöl et al. 2010:386]. |
