Garakopaktapa ( Azerbaijani: Qaraköpəktəpə) is an ancient multilayer settlement [1] of the Middle Bronze Age epoch, [2] located in a basin of the Guruchay and Kondalanchay Rivers, near Fuzuli Rayon, Azerbaijan. [2]
The monument was discovered by Azerbaijani archaeologist Gudrat Ismayilov during 1961–1971 excavations. [2] Items of material culture of the Middle Bronze Age which began in Azerbaijan from the second half of the 3rd millennium BC were found out. [3] Various collected materials characterize the culture of the tribes lived in the Mil- Karabakh steppe during that period. [2]
Ismayilov ascribed the Garabulag kurgan cemetery located on the right coast of the Kondalan River and investigated in 1898 by Alexei Ivanovski, to this settlement. [2]
