Unlike most archaeological sites in the region, the primary focus has been on excavating non-elite, mostly domestic, areas rather than elite spaces.

[8] A manna (duck) weight inscribed with the name of an official of the Akkadian ruler Shu-durul was recovered from a looted context.

It was used to produce objects including a "pendant carving ‘in the shape of a reed hut framed with two poles, each of which are capped with a single bullhead".

[16] A notable find was a burial from the late Early Bronze age where "a reused plastered basin found inside a room at the corner of two streets in the Outer Town.

This contained 17 human crania arranged in a circle facing outwards and surrounding a pile of long bones and other body parts"[17]
