Tell Kashashok (أخبر كاشكاشوك) is an archaeological site in the Khabur River Valley,[1] of Northern Syria.[2] The site is dated by pottery finds to the latter neolithic era,[3] and early Dynastic era.[4] The site was excavated by the Directorate General of Antiquities of Syria in 1987 and 1988.[5][6] The Early Dynastic era includes a destruction layer,[6] and an early adoption of cuneiform. It may have been known in antiquity as Kiš.[6] A few clay numerical tablets from the EB III were found.[7]
