stratigraphy

The virgin soil could be reached in two trenches during the excavations. Thus, the stratification of Hakemi Use is established. There are three main periods in the site. These are:

Period I : Early Iron Age & Late Assyrian Period.
Period II : Late Bronze Age (Middle Assyrian Period).
Period III : Late Neolithic ( Hassuna/Samarran Period).

Unfortunately, there is no regular architecture dating to the Early Iron and Late Bronze ages. Today, only 50cm of the settlement’s archaeological fill of ca. 4m is dated to these two periods. The remaining archaeological fill of 3.5m comprises the Late Neolithic. It’s established that the Late Neolithic consists of five levels in the plan square D8 where it’s reached to the virgin soil in the southern section of the site. There is no big difference in the archaeological material exposed in the aforementioned levels.
