The remains of Shamshara Hill and the ancient city of Shusharra (in the light of archaeological evidence and cuneiform sources)

Tell Shemshara is located on the right bank of the Little Zab River, 8 km east of the town of Rania. It is consider one of the most important archaeological hills, dating back to the Neolithic period. Large parts of the hill were flooded during the completion of a water project in the Dukan Dam, and because of the importance of the site, local excavation teams and foreign missions excavated in it, in which rare archaeological materials were founded, including many clay tablets, which were the last, these are letters sent to (Kuwari), the ruler of Shushara.
