Areni-1 Cave

During the international expedition in Armenia in 2017 levels of gamma radiation were measured in four caves in Vayots Dzor province. Background radiation levels in the Archeri, Mozrov and Magel caves show no difference with the medium level in the district, but in one hall of the Areni-1 cave gamma radiation level is up to 3 times higher. This hall contains archaeological layers with the cultural material of Chalcolithic period. The results of gamma spectral
measurements of samples from this cave are presented in this article.
