Uzerliktapa

Uzerliktapa is an archaeological site located on a natural hill with three distinct settlement layers spanning multiple millennia. It contains workshops, storage areas, and defensive structures that show how earlier inhabitants worked and protected themselves.

This site was discovered in 1954 and dates to the middle Bronze Age with material evidence from the late second millennium BC. It shows how people settled in this region and built their communities across generations.

The excavated objects show skill in craftsmanship and artistry, including female stone idols, painted pottery, and metalwork from ancient times. These items tell of the abilities and daily life of the people who lived here.

Visits require advance arrangements and are organized from the city of Aghdam. Guided tours are the best way to explore the site and see areas that might otherwise be missed.

Excavations found a defensive wall about 35 meters long and trenches surrounding the settlement, showing the technical knowledge of Bronze Age people. These fortifications suggest that residents needed to protect themselves against outside threats.
