Azikh Cave

Azikh Cave is one of the most significant prehistoric sites in the South Caucasus. Located in the scenic Garabagh region, just five kilometres from the village of Tugh in the Khojavend district, the cave has attracted international attention for its remarkable archaeological discoveries.

Excavations begun in 1960 revealed evidence of early human habitation, including stone tools and traces of hearths. Most notably, archaeologists uncovered a human lower jawbone believed to be between 350,000 and 400,000 years old.
