The first season of the excavation of Grd-i Tle

During the first excavation season of the Hungarian Archaeological Expedition of the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, three fields were open on the tell of Grd-I Tle. The largest of the fields was Field 01, where, in its NW Trench on the northern slope of the site remains of at least eight consecutive walls were discovered (extant stretches and debris of different walls). These walls are dated from the Iron Age to the 18th—19th century. Several metal objects retrieved from the trench help us to date the walls. The aim of the trench is to reach the bottom of the tell and establish a chronology of the site and the nearby region.
