“…The early Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Shirak Depression exposed in numerous outcrops near the city of Gyumri in western Armenia are assigned to the fluvio-lacustrine Arapi Formation (Sayadyan, 2009;Trifonov et al, 2016). These deposits have yielded a rich biotic record including large and small mammals and freshwater molluscs (Akramowski, 1956;Avakyan, 1959;Melik-Adamyan, 1994Agadjanyan & Melik-Adamyan, 1985).…”

“…Based on the composition of the small mammal faunas and radiometric dates he correlated the Gyumri assemblage to the early Middle Pleistocene, Cromerian of Western Europe, and Tiraspolian com-plex (assemblage) of Eastern Europe. The records of Mammuthus trogontherii (Alekseeva, 1977), small mammals with basal Terricola, advanced Prolagurus pannonicus Kormos and Mimomys intermedius Newton (Agadjanian & Melik-Adamyan, 1985), radiometric dates of 0.6-0.7 Ma for "Leninakan tuffs" covering or interfingering with Arapi deposits, and normal polarity (Brunhes Chron) of these deposits (Trifonov et al, 2016) point to the early Middle Pleistocene age of the Gyumri faunal assemblage.…”

Early Pliocene) radiation of Arvicolinae (Abramson et al., 2009a, b). Therefore, most specific features of mole voles developed due to a strong burrowing specialization (incisor digging, molar enamel thickening and partial reduction of molars) so that Early Pleistocene forms still show much more arvicoline-looking molars with some mimomyoid characters (e.g. Mimomys-ridge and relics of enamel islets). As with many rapidly evolving arvicoline phylums, molar evolution in mole voles shows a progressive hypsodonty increase from Early Pleistocene to Recent forms expressed in lengthening of dentine tracts of enamel-dentine boundary (Topachevsky & Rekovets, 1982; Zazhigin, 1988; Tesakov, 2008; Fig. 2). Two main branches of mole voles are recognised (Fig. 3). The nominotypical subgenus Ellobius (Ellobius) Fischer, 1814 combines smaller mole voles with the fossil record ranging from Early Pleistocene to recent (Topachevsky & Rekovets, 1982; Tjutkova, 1989

Коллективная монография является результатом трудов ведущих ученых Института истории материальной культуры РАН, отражающих основные результаты археологических исследований за прошедшее десятилетие. Она состоит из четырех глав. Серия статей первой из глав посвящена проблемам первоначального заселения территории нашей страны, что связано с новейшими археологическими открытиями на Кавказе, Таманском полуост рове, в Крыму, а также в Арктике. Вторая глава охватывает широкий хронологический диапазонот позднего каменного века до культур древних кочевников (сюнну). Важные проблемы изучения античной культуры Северного Причерноморья раскрыты в третьей главе на материалах раскопок на Таманском полуострове. Одна из статей посвящена участию ученых ИИМК РАН в изучении Пальмиры (Сирийская республика). Статьи, включенные в последнюю главу, характеризуют итоги археологического изучения Северо-Западной Руси, прежде всего двух важнейших городских центров этого региона -Старой Ладоги и Рюрикова городища.Издание рассчитано на археологов и историков. ThePast of Humankind as seen by the Petersburg Archaeologists at the Dawn of the Millenium (to the Centennial of the Russian Academic Archaeology). -St. Petersburg: St. Petersburg Centre for Oriental Studies Publishers, 2019. -420 p.: illThe book represents a collection of papers written by the leading scholars of the Institute for the Material Culture History, thus reflecting main achievements in archaeological investigations during the last decade. The volume consists of four parts. The first part includes contributions devoted to the problems of the initial peopling of the territory of our country in the light of recent discoveries at the Caucasus, the Taman Peninsula, Crimea, and the Arctic. The second part embraces a huge time span from the Late Stone Age to the ancient nomadic cultures (Xiongnu). The third part deals with the Classical antiquities of the Northern Black Sea region based on the results of the excavations at the Taman Peninsula. One of the papers is devoted to the activities of the scholars of the Institute in the study of Palmira (Syria). The last part consists of papers devoted to the archaeological study of the Northwestern Russia, especially the exploration of two important urban centers of the region: Staraya Ladoga and Rurik's Hillfort.The book is oriented toward archaeologists and historians.

The origin of adakite-like magmas in the modern continental ollision zone: evidence from pliocene dacitic volcanism of the Akhalkalaki lava plateau (Javakheti highland, Lesser Kaucasus)

et al. 2019

The paper reports the isotope-geochronological and petrological-geochemical studies of the Pliocene moderately-acid volcanism of the Akhalkalaki Plateau in the central part of the Lesser Caucasus (Javakheti highland, Georgia). K-Ar dating showed that young dacitic lavas and pyroclastic rocks were formed in the Mid-Pliocene (3.28 ± 0.10 Ma) in relation with the explosive–effusive eruptions of small composite volcanic cones and formation of minor extrusive domes confined mainly to the eastern margin of the region. Isotope-geochronological data in the combination with results of structural drilling indicate that the considered short-term pulse of the volcanic activity occurred during a short gap between two phases of the Pliocene–Early Pleistocene mafic magmatism widespread within the Akhalkalaki plateau. The studied Pliocene dacites were erupted at the post-collisional stage of the evolution of the Lesser Caucasus, but bear petrological-geochemical affinity of adakitic series. They are characterized by the steady presence of amphibole phenocrysts, the elevated contents of Sr, Ba, LILE and the lowered contents of Y, Nb, Ta, and HREE, and have depleted Sr isotopic composition (87Sr/86Sr < 0.7045). Analysis of petrogenetic models earlier proposed to explain the generation of adakite-like magmas in the modern collision zones showed that the origin of the Pliocene dacitic lavas of the Akhlkalaki plateau is best described by the crystallization differentiation of watersaturated calc-alkaline basaltic melts with removal of common mafic rock-forming minerals (first of all, amphibole and pyroxene) and accessory phases (apatite, titanite, Ti-magnetite) as cumulus minerals. Crustal assimilation of evolved magmas only insignificantly contributed to the petrogenesis of the dacites.
