Jemdet Nasr, Archaeological tell in Babylon Governorate, Iraq
This ancient settlement consists of two mounds measuring 3.7 and 19 acres, rising approximately 3 meters above the surrounding plain.
British archaeologist Stephen Langdon first excavated the site in 1926, discovering pottery pieces that defined a distinct period of Mesopotamian civilization.
The archaeological site revealed numerous cuneiform tablets and seals, indicating advanced administrative systems and trade networks in early Bronze Age Mesopotamia.
Located 26 kilometers north of ancient Kish, the site requires advance planning for visits due to its remote location in central Iraq.
The settlement's pottery collection established chronological markers for dating other Mesopotamian sites between 3100 and 2900 BCE.
