Ancient Settlement in Diyarbakır Province, Turkey.
Occupied nearly continuously for 2,400 years from the Early Bronze Age (c. 3,000 BCE), during the late Iron Age (c. 900-600 BCE) Ziyaret Tepe was an important urban centre on the northern edge of the Assyrian Empire. Contemporary cuneiform texts suggest that during this time Ziyaret Tepe was the Assyrian provincial capital of Tushhan.
