20世纪60年代，伊拉克考古学家曾对贝古姆进行过探索，当时挖掘发现了一个多时期的遗址。在这些重要的发现中，哈拉夫时期的遗迹在沙赫里佐尔平原地区相对罕见，其中包括多色陶瓷，表明哈拉夫文化在当地的变异。2011年和2013年的最新调查和挖掘揭示了一个5公顷的遗址，在哈拉夫，乌拜德，铜器时代晚期和中世纪时期有人居住。哈拉夫遗址的面积可能约为3公顷，使其成为该时期相对较大的定居点，尽管其完整范围尚不清楚。现场外的工作显示，该地区过去曾有良好的水源，附近可能有林地和丰富的灌木丛。该地区的大量沉积物部分掩盖了考古遗迹，包括可能是泰尔贝古姆的低丘。然而，该场地显示出沉降的连续性，表明沉降在长时间内相对稳定。
Tell Begum was previously explored by Iraqi archaeologists in the 1960s when excavations revealed a multi-period site. Among the key finds were Halaf period remains that are relatively rare in the region of the Shahrizor plain and included polychrome ceramics suggesting a local variation of the Halaf culture. Recent investigations and excavations in 2011 and 2013 revealed a 5 hectare site inhabited during the Halaf, Ubaid, Late Chalcolithic, and medieval periods. The Halaf site may have had an area of about 3 hectares, making it a relatively large settlement for that period, although its full extent is unclear. Offsite work revealed the area to have been well watered in the past, with likely neighbouring regions of woodland and abundant shrubs. The heavy sedimentation in the region has partially obscured archaeological remains, including possibly Tell Begum's lower mound. The site, nevertheless, shows continuity of settlement, indicating relative stability in settlement over long timespans.
