Archaeologists have uncovered evidence for modern human and early human habitation in the Gnishikadzor canyon that begins in the distant past and continues up until today.
The landscape and climate of Vayots Dzor are very suitable for horticulture, and especially for viticulture.
The landscape of Gnishikadzor represents a specific ecological niche, characterized by cold water springs and a rich diversity of flora and fauna; the grapevine plays a key role.
The canyon of Gnishikadzor or Gnishiki dzor (also known as Gineshikadzor, Tmadzor, Ktmadzor) is occupied by the Gnishik River (Gnishikaget, Amaghu get), a south bank tributary of the Arpa River.
Traces of ancient vineyards and walls led archaeologists to excavate within this Gnishikadzor Archaeological Complex beginning in 2015.
