Tel al-Abar 3 is a site on the left bank of the Euphrates River near Aleppo in northern Syria and dates back to the 10th millennium BC
Excavations at Tel al-Abar 3 reveal two different areas that include three communal buildings and dozens of circular houses built from limestone and paved with pebbles from the river. Finds include flint tools such as blades, knives, sickles, arrow tips and hatchets, and tools used for leatherwork and crafting straw mats, stone mills, pestles, pot sherds, animal bones and horns. The site illustrates the emerging specialisation in ancient times having various buildings serving farming, hunting and the production of stone impliments.
