Tell Brak, Archaeological tell in Al-Hasakah Governorate, Syria
The archaeological site spans 300 hectares with a central mound rising 40 meters above the surrounding plain in northeastern Syria.
Settlement at Tell Brak began in 6500 BC and developed into a major urban center by 4200 BC, preceding many established timelines of Mesopotamian urbanization.
The Eye Temple contained numerous eye idol figurines, indicating religious practices and cultural traditions of early Mesopotamian societies.
Archaeological excavations revealed extensive craft production areas, including workshops for flint tools, pottery manufacturing, and basalt grinding activities.
Systematic surface collections between 2003 and 2006 documented settlement patterns through GPS mapping and Geographic Information System analysis.
