Oldest Salt Mine Known to Date Located in Azerbaijan
ScienceDaily, 27/11/2010
CNRS archeologists have recently provided proof that the Duzdagi salt deposits, situated in the Araxes Valley in Azerbaijan, were already being exploited from the second half of the 5th millennium BC. It is therefore the most ancient exploitation of rock salt attested to date. And, to the researchers’ surprise, intensive salt production was carried out in this mine at least as early as 3500 BC.
