[edit] History
Telul eth-Thalathat was occupied in the Ubaid and Uruk periods, as well as during Middle Assyrian times. Over 20 kilns and a number of burials were found there as well as some figurines and spindle whorls. [1]
[edit] Archaeology
The site consists of three mounds. Telul eth-Thalathat was excavated for four seasons between 1956 and 1965 and again in 1976 by a team from the University of Tokyo Iraq-Iran Archaeological Expedition. The early seasons were led by N. Egami and the final season by S. Fukai. [2] [3] [4] [5]
