Tell Madhur

Tell Madhur extends 100 meters in length and 80 meters in width, rising 2.5 meters above the surrounding landscape in the Diyala region.

The British Archaeological Expedition conducted four seasons of excavations between 1977 and 1980 before the area became submerged by the Hamrin Dam reservoir.

The excavated Ubaid house revealed separate areas for storage, cooking, and dining, indicating structured domestic life patterns in ancient Mesopotamian settlements.

Archaeological deposits at Tell Madhur reach approximately 4 meters below the current surface, containing artifacts from multiple occupation periods.

The structure from level 2 contained walls preserved up to 2 meters in height with rectangular mudbricks and decorative plasterwork featuring red paint.
