Tell Maghzaliyah, Archaeological tell near Yarim Tepe, Iraq
Located near the Abra River, Tell Maghzaliyah extends over 4500 square meters with archaeological deposits reaching depths of 8 meters beneath the surface.
Soviet archaeologists conducted extensive excavations between 1969 and 1980, uncovering fifteen distinct building levels that document the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agriculture.
The settlement contained permanent structures with stone foundations and clay walls, housing approximately 150 inhabitants who maintained connections with the Jarmo culture.
Researchers discovered numerous flint tools, stone implements, and an early copper chisel, indicating the development of metallurgy skills among the inhabitants.
The site features a defensive wall with stone facing that encircles the settlement, demonstrating advanced architectural techniques from the 8th millennium BCE.
