The open-air site of Kalavan 1 is located in the Aregunyats mountain chain (at 1640 m above sea level) on the northern bank of Lake Sevan. It is the first Upper Palaeolithic site excavated in Armenia. Led by an Armenian-French team, several excavations (2005-2009) have revealed a well preserved palaeosoil, dated to around 14,000 BP (years before present), containing fauna, lithic artefacts, as well as several hearths and activity areas that structure the settlement. The initial studies enable placement of the site in its environment and justify palaeoethnological analysis of the Epigravettian human groups of the Lesser Caucasus.
卡拉万 1 号露天遗址位于塞凡湖北岸的阿雷古尼察斯山脉（海拔 1640 米）。它是在亚美尼亚发掘的第一个旧石器时代晚期遗址。在亚美尼亚-法国联合团队的带领下，经过几次发掘（2005-2009 年），揭示了一个保存完好的古土壤，其年代约为 14000 年前，其中包含动物群、石器制品以及几个火塘和活动区域，这些构成了该遗址的居住结构。初步研究使我们能够确定该遗址的环境，并为小高加索地区的埃皮格雷维特人类群体的古人类学分析提供依据。
