DESCRIPTION:Lunchbox Lecture von Zaroui Pogossian (Bochum)\n\nIn August 20
 18 the presenter organised a week-long research field trip to the village 
 of Yeghegis in the Region of Vayots' Dzor\, Armenia\, co-sponsored by the 
 ERC project JewsEast and her Innovators fund from RUB Research School. Arc
 haeologists from the University of Florence\, University of Chieti (Italy)
 \, Erevan State University and Armenian Academy of Sciences came together 
 for a collaborative effort. The purpose was to conduct a deep impact archa
 eological survey of the village of Yeghegis and explore the material conte
 xt of its Jewish Cemetery. The Cemetery constitutes unique evidence on a m
 edieval Jewish community in Armenia for whom there is tantalisingly little
  written evidence. The team's explorations of medieval cultural monuments 
 within and outside the village indicated that it was once home to a multi-
 religious community and economically thrived due to its close distance fro
 m at least two way stations of the system of Silk Roads. The presentation 
 aims to transmit this cultural vibrancy\, share the images of impressive l
 andscapes and load the hard work of archaeologist colleagues\, as well as 
 explain the importance of further research in this fascinating area
