Ancient Settlement in Deir ez-Zor Governorate.
Zalabiye is a 3rd century fortress, improved in the 6th century by Justinian I. However, the site has an Assyrian component, nearby Broze Age features and a canal dating to the Late Bronze Age.
The site's Byzantine features are heavily damaged and quarried. The site will be inundated when the Halabiyeh hydropower dam begines water containment
Note: Syria upheaval halts race to reveal secrets of ancient fort. See comment.
