Ancient Village or Settlement in Syria
Ancient Northern Summerian City dating to 4000 BCE. The site is significant for the traces of an ancient battle fought with slingshots and baked clay bullets and because it shows the independent development of Northern Mesopotamia before the South came to dominate the northern region from around 3500 BCE. The battle represents one of the earliest discovered evidence of large scale Urban warfare. The city was burned after capture and then resettled.
the relatively large site took up about 15 hectares.
The site is about 8 Km from the Iraqi Border along the Khabour River in Syria See: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=2146412767
