Ancient Village or Settlement in Iraq
Remains of settlement within a Tell (mound) in northern Iraq West of Mosul. The site spreads across either side of the Wadi Taya. There is evidence of early 4000-3000 BCE from the Ubaid period. About 2500-2000 BCE it developed into a more substantial Hurrian town and then declined and was abandoned.
