About
Tall Al-Hamidiya is an archaeological site in Syria, situated in the Al-Hasakah Governorate near the Jaghjagh River. It has been linked to the ancient city of Ta'idu/Taite, mentioned in 2nd millennium BCE texts from Ebla and Mari. The site evolved significantly during the Mitanni Empire, expanding to 245 hectares with a citadel, palatial structures, defensive walls, and a ditch. It was subsequently destroyed, likely during Adad-nirari I's campaign in the early 13th century BCE, before becoming a minor Middle Assyrian site. Later periods saw Neo-Assyrian and limited Hellenistic/Roman activities. Excavations revealed significant findings, including cuneiform tablets and inscribed bricks. The site offers insights into regional political shifts and urban development patterns.
