Summary/Abstract: Sector SD covers a stretch of flat ground on the eastern slope of the main tell at Tell Arbid. Between 1998 and 2006 12 squares were investigated, uncovering an area of almost 700 m2. With the exception of some burials from the Khabur Ware period, the remains – mostly of urban architecture – can be dated to the 3rd millennium BC. One category of domestic heating and cooking installations found in abundance in this sector are hearths and ovens of the round and oval kind. Most of these installations can be dated to the Late Ninevite 5 period. Details of construction, context and function of the various types of installations are discussed herein.
