Ancient Village or Settlement in Syria

Til Barsip or modern Tell Ahmar, is an ancient site situated along the Euphrates. The site was inhabited as early as the Neolithic period, but the Iron Age remains at Tell Ahmar are the most important. Til Barsip became the capital of the Aramean Bît-Adini tribe and was captured by the Assyrians in the 9th century BCE. The city was then renamed as Kar-Šulmanu-ašaredu, after the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III. It became a center for the Assyrian administration of the region due to its strategic location on the Euphrates river. The site of Tell Ahmar was first explored by the French archaeologist François Thureau-Dangin in the 1930s. He uncovered the Iron Age city and an Early Bronze Age hypogeum burial with a large amount of pottery. Three interesting steles and many high quality ivory carvings were also discovered at the site. 8th century BCE records show treaties with the city of Arpad. Recent excavations at Tell Ahmar were conducted by the University of Melbourne in the late 1980s and through the 1990s.
