Tell Mahmud

Tell Mahmud. Early-Islamic building

The residential centre of Tell Mahmud (the absence of fireplaces and cooking ware would suggest this hypothesis) was built according to a specific criterion: a large quadrangular enclosure, with the corners oriented towards the four cardinal points. Five rooms are built along the northeastern side, where a large amount of fragments of glass vessels were found; based on their technical and morphological characteristics, the site dates back to the early Islamic age.
