Tell Hassuna Excavations

The Tell Hassuna excavations refer to archaeological digs at a site in northern Iraq, where ancient remains from around 6000 BCE have been uncovered. These excavations reveal one of the earliest farming communities, featuring mud-brick homes, pottery, and tools. The findings help us understand early village life, social organization, and technological advances during the Neolithic period. The site is significant because it provides insight into the development of settled agricultural societies that laid the foundations for later complex civilizations.
