Tell Khaiber (تل خيبر) is a tell, or archaeological settlement mound, in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq).

In 2012, the site was visited by members of the Ur Region Archaeology Project (URAP), a cooperation between the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, the University of Manchester and the Iraqi State Board for Antiquities and Heritage.

[2] Pottery shards from earlier periods including Late Uruk and Jemdet Nasr were widely found on the site but pre-second millennium remains are below the current water table.

Three baked bricks stamped with Ur III king Amar-Sin are thought to be imported from another site.

[7][8][9] The excavations revealed the presence of a settlement dominated by a large administrative building dating to c. 1500 BC, or the Middle Bronze Age.

Among the finds from this building was an archive of 145 clay tablets and fragments, after joins were made, in Level 2 of the southernmost corner.

Four tablets were found under a later wall between the two rooms showing that a scribal tradition carried on for some time.

[15][16] The site lies in the marshlands in the south of Iraq east of the ancient city of Ur in the Hammar Marshes.

[18] Each season was led by Taha Karim, Hussein Flaih and Raed Hamed Abd Allah, and Mohammed Salih Attia respectively.
