Abstract :Karavelyan is located in the Upper Tigris valley. The site is ca. 150 km to the north of the modern Turkish-Syrian border and on the right bank of the Tigris River. The site is within the flooding zone of the Ilısu Dam to be constructed on the Tigris River. The excavations have started in 2009 and were completed in 2012. The site consists of two individual settlements situated 100 m apart. The eastern one, known as Hınçıka, was an Assyrian settlement. Karavelyan, to the west, is a mono-period site only inhabited during the Early Halafian. The archaeological deposit at Karavelyan are approximately one metre deep and contain two building levels. The architecture is very poorly preserved. The top-most level 1 yielded rectangular buildings of pisé walls without foundation while the second layer contained rectangular architecture with the second foundations. In this article, for the first time, Karavelyan has been extensively introduced into the world of science.
