Tall Al-Hamidiya (also Tell Hamidiya, Tell Hamidiye, and Tell Hamidi) is an ancient Near Eastern archeological site the upper Hābūr region of modern-day Syria in the Al-Hasakah Governorate on a loop of the Jaghjagh River.
This identification is based primarily on a few Middle Assyrian Neo-Assyrian sources, as Taite, and the proximity of Kahat, known to have been nearby.
[2][3] The site was small during the early 2nd millennium BC based on archaeology and possibly textual sources from Ebla and Mari.
[4][5][6] French archaeologists Maurice Dunand and Antoine Poidebard explored the site in 1926, noting Roman and Byzantine fortifications.
[11] Tall Al-Hamidiya was excavated between 1984 and 2011 by an Archaeological Institute of the University of Bern team led by Markus Wäfler and Oskar Kaelin, in all but five years.
Cuneiform tablets, primarily economic in nature, in "Hurro-Akkadian" and dockets both dated to the Mitanni period were found in the southwest palace in 2007.
These texts include rations for people "from Muṣri (Egypt), Alašiya (Cyprus), Ugarit, and Arrapha".
