Popis A first overview will be given of the Late Neolithic pottery that was retrieved by a team from the Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic) at the site Tell Arbid Abyad (12 km E of Chagar Bazar) during the seasons 2007-2010. Based on technological and typological characteristics, the correlation with the C14 dates and the association with architectural remains and other cultural deposits the pottery dates to the Proto-Halaf, Early Halaf as well as to the Middle Halaf period. The earliest documented occupation levels date to the beginning of the Proto-Halaf period, which make Tell Arbid Abyad the oldest systematically excavated Halaf site of the Khabur Region. Because of intensive agricultural practices of today and the related landscape modifications the upper cultural deposits at the small prehistoric site have been progressively reduced. For this reason the latest preserved occupation of the tell is present only in pottery remains that have been found in the topsoil and on the surface in significant numbers - they indicate a Middle/Late Halaf settlement of Tell Arbid Abyad.
