Archaeological monument

The objects extracted during the archaeological excavations were taken to the city of Iravan and Armenianized by adding Armenian elements. It is displayed in museums as a historical item belonging to Armenians.

In the 1960s of XX century, 4 graves were discovered on the same vertical line by chance during the economic excavations carried out on the north bank of the Husen River in the territory of Aghkilsa village of the present Basarkechar region. The sizes of the graves, which are located about 2-3 meters deep from each other, increasing in order from top to bottom, the skeleton of an unimaginable size discovered in the amazing large grave in the deepest layer, and the bronze objects in the second grave from the bottom, give rise and material evidence to the conclusions that Goycha is one of the oldest settlements, perhaps the first one. Three-four-story graves were found during the archaeological excavations in the place called Sari (Yellow) Ditch. In general, the fantastic number of "Ughuz (Oghuz) graves" that have survived to this day in the Goycha plateau and nearby geographical areas compared to other regions, as well as the fact that their amazing size corresponds to the mythical physical capabilities of the Dada Gorgud Oghuz, can be considered as an additional confirming argument of this opinion.

Four brothers from the Mashadi Khavarli tribe, who came to Goycha mahal from Ardabil and Sulduz provinces of South Azerbaijan, came to Goycha mahal, chose Aghkilseni, which tells the history of Albanians who lived in III-V centuries, as their place of residence and settled there. The first name of the village, Aghkilsa, originated from here.
