Abstract
The site of Tell Harmal, which corresponds to the ancient city of Šaduppûm, is located in the vicinities of Baghdad, near Tell Mohammed and in the angle between the Tigris and the Diyala. It has around 150 m of diameter, and by the time of the first excavations it rose about 4 m above the level of the surrounding ground.
