Baghdad, Oct. 12 (Petra) — The Archaeological and Heritage
Inspection Department of Iraq’s Dhi Qar Governorate announced on
Monday the discovery of three new archaeological mounds and the
ancient riverbed of the Euphrates River in southern Iraq.
In an official statement, the inspection authority disclosed that a
joint Iraqi-French archaeological mission successfully uncovered the
three sites alongside the historical Euphrates riverbed in the
Al-Sulaibiyat region of Dhi Qar. Excavation teams also identified a
structure believed to have served as an ancient ship anchorage or
harbor.
The statement noted that recovered artifacts indicate continuous
human settlement in the area spanning several millennia, from the
sixth millennium BCE through the Early Dynastic Period, the Ur III
Dynasty, the Old Babylonian and Kassite eras, and extending to the
Neo-Babylonian period.
According to the authority, the uncovered artifacts and structural
remains date back to chronological phases spanning approximately 6000
BCE to 500 BCE.
