Keywords: deep (mantle) earthquakes, crustal earthquakes, waveform character
Аnnotation: The upper crust location of the sources of the Spitak earthquake 07.12.1988 and its aftershocks is proved. It is demonstrated that seismological network in the region allowed unequivocal focal depth identification based on the kinematic data. Waveforms of all the Spitak earthquakes are typical of the sources in the upper crust. It is noted that mantle earthquakes in Caucasus have been revealed up to now only in the Tersk-Sundja depression.
