The excavations are currently carried out at Tell Ashara and Tell Masaikh. The first site is primarily the remains of a Bronze Age (ca. 2700–1500 BC). At Tell Masaikh were discovered the remains of settlement from the Chalcolithic (c. 4500 BC), and the middle Bronze Age, as well as a huge governor’s palace from the times of the Assyrian empire’s days of glory (c. 800–650 BC).
