Prehistoric site on the upper Euphrates River in eastern Anatolia with a sequence of occupation from the Chalcolithic to Iron Age times. Early levels show connections with Halaf and 'Ubaid. Architecture became more elaborate and there is a probably copper foundry and copper workshops through the Early Bronze Age levels (mid-4th millennium BC). The copper production relied on Ergani copper sources and fed the demands of southern Mesopotamia.
