In this paper, the overview for each site provides maps that allows the general reader, who may not be familiar with the topography of Azerbaijan, to understand the sites and other references. A common set of interpretation drawings for each site is also provided that can be used to understand the largely text-based IoAE excavation reports. The article uses a period-based approach that selects the common elements where they occur in each site and allows the reader to follow those aspects of most interest to them.
