Syria, Local, 1/4/2005
Dutch Archeologists unearthed unique samples of clay potteries at the archeological site of "Tel Abyad", in north Syria.
During the excavations, the Dutch team discovered scores of potteries and jars that date back to 6800-6300 B.C, when pre-history inhabitants left their villages due to the world drastic climate changes at that period.
The team also excavated 37 clay tablets which date back to 1200 B.C at the time when the Assyrians built an important defence fort along the borders. The discovered cuneiform writing engraved on the mud tablets indicate that the fortress had a very important political role in the region.
