Ancient Village or Settlement in Syria.

Arslan Tash, ancient Hadatu, is an archaeological site in northern Syria. It was the centre of an Aramean Iron Age kingdom, which was conquered by the Assyrians in the 9th century BCE. The site of Arslan Tash was explored by the French archaeologist François Thureau-Dangin in the 1920s and 30s who discovered a city with a palace, surrounded by city walls and gates adorned with bulls carved from stone, now in the Louvre. The most important discoveries from Arslan Tash were however the ivory objects of high artistic quality which today are kept at the Archaeological Museum in Aleppo and in the Louvre.
