位于叙利亚北方上巴利赫山谷的Tell Sabi Abyad遗址是一个面向区域的研究项目的挖掘重点之一，旨在澄清该地区新石器时代晚期社会的年表，定居点组织和生态。到目前为止，实地考察的重点一直是哈拉夫时期，即，公元前B第6千纪晚期和第5千纪早期。C.在该地区最大的哈拉夫定居点之一Tell Sabi Abyad进行的第二次挖掘（1988年）提供了对哈拉夫起源的深入了解，并得到了一系列12个放射性碳年代的支持。没有地层中断，表明了一个连续和不间断的占领序列，哈拉夫逐渐从更早的地方建立的新石器时代传统中脱颖而出。公元前5200年左右，一个主要的创新是引入了精细纹理和繁忙的绘画陶瓷。C.的方法，其中一些表现出明显的萨马拉风格特征。挖掘工作提供了哈拉夫定居点早期布局的详细图片。对800多平方米的宽水平暴露进行了调查，显示出多房间（可能是多层）直线建筑物的松散聚集的证据，被附属附属建筑和圆形结构所包围。一个巨大的石头挡土墙的作用仍然是谜;很可能这堵墙支持一个大的露台，其功能仍然未知。
The site of Tell Sabi Abyad in the upper Balikh valley of northern Syria is one of the focal points of excavation of a regionally oriented research project, aimed at clarifying the chronology, settlement organization, and ecology of later Neolithic society in the region. So far the emphasis of fieldwork has been on the Halaf period, i.e., the later sixth and early fifth millennium B. C. The second season of excavation (1988) at Tell Sabi Abyad, one of the largest Halaf settlements in the region, provided insight into the origins of Halaf, well supported by a series of 12 radiocarbon dates. The absence of a stratigraphic break points toward a continuous and uninterrupted sequence of occupation, with Halaf gradually emerging out of an earlier, locally founded Neolithic tradition. A major innovation was the introduction of finely textured and busily painted ceramics around 5200 B. C., some of which display clear Samarran stylistic traits. The excavations have yielded a detailed picture of Halaf settlement layout in its earliest days. Over 800 m2 have been investigated in broad horizontal exposures, showing evidence of a loose aggregation of multiroomed (and possibly multistoried) rectilinear buildings, surrounded by subsidiary annexes and circular structures. The role of a huge stone retaining wall remains enigmatic; most likely this wall supported a large terrace, the function of which is still unknown.
