Tuneinir is a significant size tell along the East bank of the Khabur River. The site is situated next to a large perennial spring called both Ain Tuneinir and Ain Noah by the local population. Nine C-14 dates span from 2350 - 2135 BCE until ACE 1340 - 1480; occupation was continuous though fluctuating with political and climatic conditions. The town boasted many caravansaries during the Islamic Period as well as a monastery, nunnery, churches, and a mosque. At least one bridge and numerous fords were guarded by the city that lay at the crossing of north-south and east-west caravan routes. Fieldwork was conducted at the site when it was scheduled to be in the flood pool of a large reservoir project constructed south of Hasake, Syria.
