Hassuna Culture

The Hassuna Culture was a Neolithic society that existed around 6000-5300 BCE in northern Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. It is known for early farming communities that cultivated wheat and barley, domesticated animals like sheep, and developed pottery with decorative motifs. The people built simple mud-brick houses and crafted tools from stone and bones. The Hassuna Culture represents a key stage in early human society transitioning from hunter-gatherers to settled farmers, laying foundational practices for future complex civilizations in the region.
