The research was conducted under the auspices of the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology University of Warsaw and directed by Maria Krogulska (1988) and Piotr Bieliński (1989–1990).

In the framework of the same project, the team also studied the site of Tell Djassa, located about 2.5 km away.

The youngest phase, dating to the Early Dynastic period, yielded the richest finds – the remains of four mud-brick houses located along a street paved with stones as well as seven graves.

[1] An interesting find was a terracotta figurine, a so-called eye idol, typical of the Uruk culture.

Such idols have been found in different parts of the Near East: Mesopotamia, Syria, Elam, the largest number at Tell Brak.
