The best book, The Ark of Noah, was by David Fasold who now repudiates his idea that what he found was the ark. It did, however, appear to be an actual artifact (well, archeological site since whatever it was had decomposed and was partially buried. It did, though, contain quite a lot of iron). Ironically, it was in the Ararat range, but not on "Mt. Ararat" and was dynamited by folks who were on their way to Mt. Ararat to find what they thought was the "real" ark photographed earlier in the century. At least this guy's book brought together a lot of interesting historical ark-related material from the Near East, including various flood stories, and posited a craft that was at least plausible in a way that other descriptions have not been. They found across the region a number of very large anchor stones as well as sarcophagi and other ancient artwork depicting ark-related themes.
This pops up in the news every so often, it creates a small stir among some, then it rightly disappears. When I was out in that part of the world a Armenian Orthodox priest I befriended told me it was the ruin of a Byzantine church. A reasonable explanation from someone with better access to local data & lore then I will ever be.
