Böyük Qafqazın ətəklərində daş dövrünə dair aparılmış arxeoloji tədqiqatlara dair (2000-2020)
No full textThe article is devoted to archaeological research of the Stone Age, carried out in the southern foothills of the Greater Caucasus. It is known that studies of the Stone Age in Azerbaijan began for the first time with the registration discovered by S.N. Zamyatin and M.M. Husey-nov in 1953 of the Paleolithic site of Damdjily near the village of Dash Salakhly of the Gazakh region. Research was carried out here in 1956–1957. Before that, under the leaders-hip of M.M. Huseynov, M.M. Mansurov, A.G. Jafarov and A.A. Zeynalov, 8 caves, more than 20 sites of the open type of the Paleolithic period in the Lesser Caucasus, Lankaran, in the mountain depression between the middle reaches of the Araxes and the Kura were exp-lored. As a result of these studies, the lower, middle and partially upper cultural layer of the Paleolithic was recorded, while for many years the southern foothills of the Greater Caucasus remained outside these studies. In 2005, during exploration archaeological work led by A. A. Zeynalov in the Sheki-Zagatala and Guba-Khachmaz zones, on the south-eastern and north-eastern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Range, the first finds of the Palaeolithic period were discovered. As a result of archaeological research led by M.M. Mansurov in Shamakha, Ismayilli and Gabala regions at the end of 2011 in this region, A.A. Zeynalov together with Korean specialists in the Gabala region in the same year, as well as M.M. Mansurov and N.M. Museibov in 2012 and 2014 respectively, more than 30 Acheulean and Mousterian culture specimens have been recorded.As a result of research in the Sheki-Zagatala and Guba-Khachmaz zones, it was concluded that mudflows from the upper reaches of the Greater Caucasus were washed away from sites of the Palaeolithic period
Eseje o přírodním Zdroji Bohatství, Hospodářském Růstu a Institucionální Kvalitě

První dokument analyzuje možné publikačního zkreslení a důvod pro navzájem si odporujících zjištění v literatuře o přírodních zdrojů, druhý dokument zkoumá vliv vývozu přírodních zdrojů na výrobu výkonu v 15 zemích bývalého Sovětského svazu a poslední dokument adresuje zda li podoby ve velikosti příjmů země a na institucionálních úrovnich podporují zvýšené množství bilaterálnícho obchodu mezi zeměmi. Úvodní kapitola staví tyto tři dokumenty v perspektivu. V prvním dokumentu ja analyzuji 43 studií, které poskytují 605 různých regresní zadávací dokumentace a zjistil, že přibližně 40% dokumentů hlasí negativní a statisticky významný vliv, další 40% dokumentů hlasí žádný účinek, a zbývajících 20% dokumentů hlasí pozitivní a statisticky významný vliv přírodních zdrojů na ekonomický růst. Výsledky ukazují, že vzájemné působení mezi přírodními zdroji a institucionální kvalitou, řízení na úrovni investiční aktivity, rozlišovaní mezi různými druhy přírodních zdrojů a odlišování zdrojů závislostí a...Charles University in Prague Faculty of Social Sciences Institute of Economic Studies DISSERTATION THESIS ABSTRACT Essays on Natural Resource Richness, Economic Growth and Institutional Quality Author: Ayaz Zeynalov Supervisor: Doc. Roman Horvath, Ph.D Academic Year: 2016/2017 Abstract This dissertation consists of three empirical papers on natural resource, economic growth and institutional quality. The first paper analyzes possible publication bias and the reason for contradictory findings in the natural resource literature, the second paper examines the effect of natural resource exports on manufacturing performance in the 15 former Soviet Union countries, and the last addresses whether similarities in country income size and at the institutional level encourage increased amounts of bilateral trade between countries. An introductory chapter puts these three papers into perspective. In the first paper, I analyze 43 studies providing 605 different regression specifica- tions and found that approximately 40% report a negative and statistically significant effect, another 40% report no effect, and the remaining 20% report a positive and statistically significant effect of natural resources on economic growth. The findings show that including interaction between natural resources and institutional quality, controlling...Institut ekonomických studiíInstitute of Economic StudiesFaculty of Social SciencesFakulta sociálních vě

SCULPTORS WHO WORKED IN BAKU IN THE 20S OF THE 20TH CENTURY (Y. I. Keilikhis, S. D. Erzia, Y. R. Tripolskaya, P. V. Sabsay)
No full textThe article deals with sculptors’ works who worked in Baku in the 20s of the last century. The works of four well-known sculptors – Y. I. Keilikhis, S. D. Erzia, E. R. Tripolskaya and P. V. Sabsay are highlighted. The author notes that each of them contributed to the development of national Azerbaijani sculpture. They also taught in higher schools and technical institutes and trained specialists in sculpture. The image of the poet Sabir created by Keilikhis is interesting. It is the first large monument in the Orient. The two-figure alto-relievo – “Drillers” that has survived to this day attracts attention with expressiveness and dynamism of the characters. The author of this composition is S. D. Erzia. P. V. Sabsay and E.R. Tripolskaya’s works, which decorate the city to this day, are also interesting. These are plastic images of the writer-educator M. F. Akhundzadeh and the poetess Khurshidbanu Natavan
Resumption Of the Excavations of The Middle Paleolithic Taglar Cave
No full textTaglar Cave was first documented in 1960 by M.M. Huseynov and was investigated intermittently over a 12-year period from 1964 to 1986. A total area of 72 m² was excavated. The cave is located at an altitude of 712 meters above sea level, 30 meters above the current bed of the Guruchay River. It consists of six chambers, measuring approximately 50 meters in width and 25 meters in length, with a maximum height of 5.5 meters.
During the earlier excavations, six stratigraphic layers were identified. The first layer contained materials from the Middle Ages, as well as the Bronze and Chalcolithic periods. The remaining layers were attributed to the Middle Paleolithic period.
In 2024, a joint international archaeological expedition conducted by Azerbaijan and Japan resumed research at Taglar Cave. That season’s investigations focused on the eastern wall of the cave, where an 8-meter-long longitudinal section (north-south) was excavated and its stratigraphy documented. A grid system was implemented, confirming that a significant portion of the sediment remains unexcavated.
Excavations in 2024 uncovered several hearths, approximately one thousand lithic artifacts, and faunal remains. Additionally, five sediment samples from Layers II and III and two from below Layer VI were collected for absolute dating using the OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence) method. These results are expected to provide more precise chronological data regarding the cave’s occupation

No full textArchaeological investigations at Damjili Cave, conducted from 1953 to 1957, marked the beginning of substantial Palaeolithic research in Azerbaijan. The remains recovered by these field campaigns highlighted the cave’s significant potential for understanding the cultural development of the South Caucasus. The material uncovered during these excavations sheds light not only on the Palaeolithic but also on later periods, including the Mesolithic and Neolithic. However, the details remained obscured for a long time due to the stratigraphic disturbance of the excavated trenches. To address this, we reinvestigated Damjili Cave from 2016 to 2023. Our study revealed a cultural sequence spanning the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze Age, and Historic periods, all overlaying Middle Palaeolithic (Mousterian) deposits. Although the Middle Palaeolithic layer was disturbed by water activity, the other layers exhibited excellent stratigraphic preservation. Most importantly, discovering the stratigraphic occurrences of the Mesolithic and Neolithic occupation layers is crucial for understanding the origins of the food production economy. This finding is the first at a single South Caucasus site, underscoring the historical importance of Damjili Cave
