DESCRIPTION:Lunchbox Lecture by Zara Pogossian (Bochum)\n\nIn August 2018 
 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. Archae
 ologists 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 archaeol
 ogical survey of the village of Yeghegis and explore the material context 
 of its Jewish Cemetery. The Cemetery constitutes unique evidence on a medi
 eval Jewish community in Armenia for whom there is tantalisingly little wr
 itten evidence. The team's explorations of medieval cultural monuments wit
 hin and outside the village indicated that it was once home to a multi-rel
 igious community and economically thrived due to its close distance from a
 t least two way stations of the system of Silk Roads. The presentation aim
 s to transmit this cultural vibrancy\, share the images of impressive land
 scapes and load the hard work of archaeologist colleagues\, as well as exp
 lain the importance of further research in this fascinating area
