138Archaelogical investigations and restoration
ОглавлениеAfter the first excavation work in 1901, a systematic archaeological investigation began in 1904 and was lead by Toros Toramanian (1864–1934). He presented a three-stage reconstruction model, that initially raised doubts, but was accepted by most experts as probably the right one in 1906. This model is considered a pilot project of reconstructive restoration work in Armenia (Fig. 1a).
From 1958 to 1967 the remains of the wall were being secured. Further restoration measures were carried out in the 1980 s, with large areas of cement-containing mortar and suspensions being used in both cases (Fig. 2f). The most recent restorations were carried out under the direction of Grigor Nalbandyan using cementless materials.
