Document Details : Title: Asia Minor Columnar Sarcophagi in Garni Fortress Author(s): MARGARYAN, Hasmik Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 22 Date: 2023 Pages: 59-87 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.22.0.3292241 Abstract : The History Museum of Armenia contains a large collection of architectural and sculptural fragments of white Dokimeian and Aphrodisian marble. Several fragments are kept in the Department of Ancient Archeology of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia. They were discovered during archaeological excavations around the ancient temple in the fortress of Garni. These are fragments of Asia Minor columnar sarcophagi from the 3rd-4th centuries AD, which did not receive proper coverage in the scientific literature at the time. This article provides typological, artistic and stylistic analysis of the fragments in their historical context. The results of the archaeometric analysis of one fragment are presented. |
