| The site, located southwest of Silopi east of Dicle; was discovered during the Surveys of Cizre-Silopi conducted by G. Algaze as a part of Southeastern Anatolia Project. Dolan Village ca. 100 m west of mound. Site had not been plowed recently and produced relatively few sherds. Traces of walls, relatively recent, on the second terrace. Ottoman/recent cemetery on SE portion of first terrace. Khabur ware and Late Assyrian diagnostics recorded across first terrace, equaling the full extent of the site. Middle Assyrian diagnostics and Ottoman diagnostics only found in smaller second terrace. A single recognizable Hellenistic sherd. Potsherds belonging to MBA, LBA, IA and Hellenistic Period were seen on the surface [Algaze et al. 2012:64]. |
