Since Monday, the #PleiadesGazetteer editorial college has published 18 new and 192 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 15 people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize the full week's worth of such work, but meantime, here's a #SneakPeek at a new place resource, provided by Gabriel McKee: the so-called "Lchashen fortress". This Urartian fortified structure is located near the modern town of Lchashen near Lake Van. It was inhabited during the late Bronze through Iron Age (16th-13th centuries BCE).
