Tell al-Rimah, Archaeological site in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq.

The archaeological settlement mound extends over 500 meters in each direction, with a central elevation reaching 30 meters in height and 100 meters in diameter.

Archaeological excavations from 1964 to 1971 uncovered a temple complex and palace structures dating back to the early second millennium BC at Tell al-Rimah.

The discovered tablets at Tell al-Rimah contain administrative records documenting grain trading, tin commerce, and wine production during the Old Babylonian period.

The archaeological site stands at 298 meters above sea level, positioned approximately 80 kilometers west of Mosul in the Sinjar region of Iraq.

The stele of Adad-nirari III found at Tell al-Rimah contains cuneiform inscriptions establishing connections with Northern Israel during the Neo-Assyrian period.
