Arkivan settlement of Masalli region of the Republic of Azerbaijan is one of the ancient settlements of the republic. The findings of the Bronze and Iron Ages found here also prove it.

During this research, stone products of the Upper Paleolithic period were found in the territory of Arkivan. This discovery allows us to say that ancient people settled in the territory of Arkivan.
