Tell Hazna I
editThe site has been excavated since 1988 to 2010 by the expedition of Institute of Archaeology of Russian Academy of Sciences. Tell Hazna I, is a large tell 150 m in average diameter and 17 m high. 12 m of its 16 m thick cultural deposit belong to the Early Dynastic I–II Periods, and its lower 4 m to the Uruk and Ubaid periods. The efforts of the Russian mission have been mainly concentrated on the first or upper Early Dynastic Period: the remains of the religious and administrative center. [2][a] An area of more than 2000 m2 has been uncovered on the tell's southern slope.
The site included two temple complexes (the Upper Temple and the Lower Temple),[3] it is considered to have a pre-state organization of the community run by a religious administration.[1]
Some clay seals were recovered during the excavations.[4] A 3rd millennium BC kiln was also found. [5]
