Settlement site on the Euphrates river with evidence of habitation from the 9th millennium BCE. The site declined under the Sumerians, was revived to be an important defensive location for the Akkadians, and continued to be inhabited until the 12th century BCE. The site was flooded by the creation of Lake Assad in 1974.
