Ginnig, Archaeological tell in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq

The tell rises 0.5 meters above the surrounding terrain and measures 100 meters in diameter within the northern regions of Iraq.

The archaeological structure dates from the ancient Mesopotamian period, reflecting the early human settlements in the fertile lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

The tell represents a layer of human occupation in Upper Mesopotamia, containing artifacts that document the development of agricultural communities in northern Iraq.

The site requires appropriate permissions from local authorities for visits and research, as it falls under the protection of Iraqi antiquities regulations.

This archaeological formation contains undisturbed stratification layers that preserve evidence of early Mesopotamian settlement patterns and material culture.
