Tell Tuneinir, Archaeological site in northeastern Syria
Tell Tuneinir spans 112 acres along the Khabur River, featuring a central mound that rises 60 feet above a surrounding lower city.
The settlement evolved from a small agricultural village in 2700 BC to a fortified Byzantine stronghold under Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century.
Archaeological excavations revealed a Christian monastery with decorated stucco panels, wine production facilities, and religious artifacts including Saint Febronia's tooth.
The archaeological site lies 25 miles from the Iraqi border and requires coordination with local authorities for research access due to regional conditions.
The monastery's church contained specific architectural elements: a haikal temple room, baptistery, and dual-section sanctuary with geometric patterns excluding human representations.
