Hassuna

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Hassuna

Archaeological site, northern Iraq. An ancient Mesopotamian town located south of Mosul, it was excavated in 1943–44 and was found to represent an advanced village culture that apparently had spread throughout northern Mesopotamia. At Hassuna itself, six layers of houses were uncovered, each progressively more substantial. Vessels and pottery dating from the early to mid-6th millennium BC were discovered. Similar wares found elsewhere in the Middle East show that, even as early as the 6th millennium BC, an extensive trade network existed in the region.
