A group of archaeological settlements in the territory of this region belong to the Bronze Age. Since the archaeological settlements of all periods of the Bronze Age are located on the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, it is possible to learn more clearly some issues that are important in the Azerbaijani archeology of the Bronze Age. During the excavations at the archaeological settlements in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, many archaeological materials related to the material culture of the people of the Bronze Age were discovered. They consist of work tools, ornaments, weapons, clay pots and other archaeological materials. Like any archaeological material, clay pots are important for learning the Bronze and Bronze spiritual culture of Nakhchivan. During this type of ceramics, clay bowls of foot and teapot type are also important.
