About
Ərəbyengicə is an archaeological site located in the Sharur District of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan. Situated on the left bank of the Arpachay River, this ancient settlement covers an area of about 0.8 hectares. Despite damage from agricultural activities, the site retains significant archaeological value, with remnants of cultural layers from the Eneolithic period and the Kura–Araxes culture.
