archaeological site · 10000 BC – 940 AD

Tell in northern Syria first settled in the Early Neolithic, resettled in the Chalcolithic Ubaid period, resettled again in the mid-late Uruk period, and finally resettled again in the Iron Age, from which point the site was continuously inhabited until the early Islamic period. The site was deluged by the creation of Lake Assad in 1974.
