Abstract:

 


Karavelyan is
located in the Upper Tigris valley. The site is ca. 150 km to the north of the modern Turkish-Syrian border and on
the right bank of the Tigris River. The site is within the flooding zone of the
Ilısu Dam to be constructed on the Tigris River. The excavations have started in
2009 and were completed in 2012. The site consists of two individual
settlements situated 100 m apart. The eastern one, known as Hınçıka, was an
Assyrian settlement. Karavelyan, to the west, is a mono-period site only
inhabited during the Early Halafian. The archaeological deposit at Karavelyan
are approximately one metre deep and contain two building levels. The
architecture is very poorly preserved. The top-most level 1 yielded rectangular
buildings of pisé walls without foundation
while the second layer contained rectangular architecture with the second
foundations. In this article, for the first time, Karavelyan has been
extensively introduced into the world of science.
