Bestansur is a Neolithic tell, or archaeological settlement mound, located in Sulaimaniyah province, Kurdistan Regional Government, Iraq in the western Zagros foothills.

Bestansur is a tell located on the left bank of the Tanjero River and near several other perennial and seasonal springs and streams in the Shahrizor Plain.

[5][6][7] Surface survey has recorded evidence of a spread of Neolithic artefacts, including chert and obsidian.

Test trenches were excavated to establish the extent of Early Neolithic occupation, which is thought to cover an area of 100 x 50 m.[4] A gradiometry survey has recorded evidence for Neo-Assyrian activity.

Evidence for activities taking place in the external areas surrounding the buildings include hearths, butchery and stone-working waste.
