The occupation of Tell el-'Oueili dates to the Ubaid period. The site is located approximately 2.5 km southeast of Larsa and measures ca. 200 m in diameter by 5 m in height. Excavations exposed occupation layers dating from Ubaid 0 (ca. 6500-5400 B.C.) to Ubaid 4.

The site was first identified by André Parrot and then excavated by Jean-Louis Huot (1976, 1978, 1981-1989).
