The area in question Ms been surveyed frequently in the past and the
results have, been published more or less in detail.K Taking this in
consideration, the authors concentrated upon those ofthetells that were not
presented in earlier publications. The descriptions of Me tells and the
material coming from them may constitute interesting comparative material for
studies concerning neighboring sites.2'
TELL ZIYADE
Thisisasmall, roughly oval tell measuring ca. 120 m by 70 m at Me MM
(Me N-S axis is Me longer one). The eastern and southeastern sides are
probably result of the erosive action of Me waters of theHabur River which
presently flows some 80m away from the tell. Quite probably a substantial part
of the tell lying in the flat ri'-erine area has been.carried away by the river.
The tell reaches a maximum height of about 9m J. Y. Honchambert dates the
pottery he found at Tell Ziyade to the following periods: Halaf, Obeid, Uruk,
Early and Biddle Bronze 3:.
(For the finds see tables I, II, X,XI:l-4).
