We are happy to announce the 3rd Hampartzoum and Ovsanna Chitjian Conference on Armenian Studies. The conference will feature 5 speakers from Armenia, who will discuss advances in our understanding of prehistoric and historic periods in Armenia, starting with the earliest hunter-gatherers that inhabited the region some 250, 000 years ago and ending with the role of Armenia within the greater Silk Road economy.
