Tell
Kurdu is an Early Chalcolithic regional center in the Amuq Valley of
southeastern Turkey (fig.2). Yielding both Halaf-period (sixth
millennium BC) and Ubaid-period (fifth millennium BC) levels, Tell Kurdu offers
an unique opportunity to investigate an important formative stage of Near
Eastern civilization. Remains from both phases are easily accessible
beneath the mound surface, as later occupation levels are absent. The site
provides highly promising avenues for research on the prehistory of
Northern Mesopotamia.
Tell Kurdu is currently the focus of a long-term excavation and
research project. This project is part of the Amuq Valley Regional
Projects. fig. 2 map showing Kurdu in the NE (click to enlarge)
