Tell al-Wilayah

Tell al-Wilayah (also Tell al-Wilaya) is an archaeological site in the Wasit Governorate of eastern Iraq.

[7] Sixteen degraded whole and partial cuneiform tablets of the Old Akkadian and Ur III periods were found in robber holes, discarded by looters.

Also found were two Old Akkadian clay jar sealings, an ivory figurine, terracotta plaques depicting naked females clasping their breasts, and two Ur III bricks, of Shu-Shin and Shulgi.

[8][9] An Early Dynastic palace was found at the extreme northwest corner (Area III) of the main mound, constructed with plano-convex bricks.

[10][1][6][11] In response to major looting, the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage conducted excavations in 1999, 2000, and 2002.
