Recent archaeological excavations, carried out by Armenian-British joint team, discovered very interesting finds in the cave, proving very early origins of the grape domestication and wine production starting from the Eneolithic period (End of the V – First half of the IV Millennium BC). The cave is represented by a series of galleries of a carstic formation (it covers nearly 500 Sq m of area) with preserved cultural layers with more then 4m of power. The archeological site, represented by a united complex, consists of remnants of a fortification wall, covering the entrance of the cave, living area in the front part of the first gallery and the storage area for food and agricultural products. The excavations here opened thousand of ceramic, bone, stone and metal artifacts, textile, seeds and other finds.
