Tell al-Ashari

Tell al-Ashari is an archaeological site in Syria with multiple layers of ruins showing different historical periods stacked on top of each other. Within these layers are remains of houses, everyday items, and objects connected to religious practices from various times.

The site was founded thousands of years ago and remained occupied for a very long time. Its importance comes from its location on trade routes that connected different ancient cultures with each other.

Objects found at Tell al-Ashari show how ancient people shifted from moving around to settling in one place and farming. This change appears clearly in the different types of items uncovered during excavation work.

A guide with expertise is recommended for visiting since the ruins are hard to understand without explanation. On-site conditions can vary depending on the season and weather patterns.

The layers of ruins show an unbroken sequence of human settlement spanning many centuries. This continuous history of occupation is rare and allows uncommon insight into how early human settlements developed and changed.
