Additional surface collections made by the Salat Tepe excavations team in 2002 also provided more concrete information about the site (G\u00f6rm\u00fc~ 2003). Following the detailed surface survey canied out in 2003 (Miyake 2005a, 2005b), a rescue excavation was begun in 2004 as a joint project between the Diyarbakn Museum and Tokyo Kaseigakuin University2 (Miyake 2006). \r\nThe site of Salat Cami Yam is situated about 20 km east of the modern city of Bismil in Diyarbakn Province and is located on the left bank of the Salat Stream, about 3 km upstream from its confluence with the Tigris. An early topographic map clearly demonstrates that Salat Cami Yam was originally a low and oval shaped mound, extending approximately 200 x 100 m (Miyake 2005b: fig. 2). However, when we visited the site in 2003, the extent of the nearby village had expanded significantly towards the riverbank, and consequently this Neolithic settlement was included within the modern village, and eventually the mound was almost completely levelled (Fig. 2). \r\n", "alias_name": [], "topography": 2, "elevation": null, "public": true, "modified": "2016-03-21T11:06:37.249Z", "geographical_coordinate_reference_system": null, "province": 25, "comment": ""}, "model": "defcdb.site", "pk": 77}]
