Abstract
The aim of the article is to present what is known of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods in Western Azerbaijan. The first part gives a short review of the research done during the Soviet period: if the Neolithic period was well represented by the excavations at Shomu-Tepe, there was not much evidence of the Chalcolithic except at a small site considered to be contemporary with Leilatepe further east. The second part presents recent research done within the last 5 years: new excavations have just begun at the 6 th millennium Neolithic site of Goy Tepe, whereas several discoveries concerning the Chalcolithic have come to light, including kurgans and settlements dating to the 5 th and 4 th millennium BC.
