Girnavaz Mound, Archaeological mound in Nusaybin, Turkey.

The elevated settlement formation stands 4 kilometers north of Nusaybin, near the Syrian border, along ancient Northern Mesopotamian trade routes.

Archaeological investigations between 1982 and 1991 revealed continuous human settlement patterns from the 4th millennium BC through the Late Assyrian period.

Researchers discovered numerous pottery artifacts at the site, providing substantial information about craft production methods in ancient Assyrian settlements.

The archaeological site requires official permission for visits, and researchers should coordinate with local authorities for access to conduct studies.

Deciphered tablets from excavations suggest this location might correspond to the ancient settlement of Nabula or Nawala.
