During the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age the lands around the Lake Sevan basin witnessed the emergence of a distinctive local culture, marked by characteristic burial practices, abundant metalwork and varied pottery production generally called the âLÄaÅ¡en Cultureâ. It was named after the numerous finds from the village of LÄaÅ¡en, but its features are spread throughout the lake basin also seen in neighbouring regions. Its intriguing nature has attracted the attention of numerous scholars, and different interpretations, as well as definitions, have been proposed. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the main archaeological features of the LÄaÅ¡en Culture, with particular reference to its landscape archaeology, burials and material culture.
