Tell Kirri

Tell Kirri stands on the Akkar plain, 3 kilometers northeast of Qoliate, featuring layers of ancient settlements and cultural deposits across multiple periods.

Archaeological teams, including Maurice Dunand and Lorraine Copeland, initiated excavations at Tell Kirri in 1966, uncovering evidence of Neolithic period settlements.

The archaeological findings from Tell Kirri provide researchers with essential data about the development of early human communities in northern Lebanon.

Visitors can access the site throughout the year, though coordination with local authorities is recommended for conducting research or detailed explorations.

The site's location in the Akkar plain positions it as a reference point for understanding regional trade networks and settlement patterns of ancient civilizations.
