The seismic motions left numerous traces of deformation: displaced of cairns of mound and khereksur; bending, displacement and rotation of parts of the khereksur's walls; bending stone structures at scarp crests; tilted and rotated enclosure's stone slabs; offset irrigation ditch; the displacement is most often directed. Dating of the archaeological site provides lower age bounds to the earthquakes.
