Tell Abu al-Dhahab

Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq

Tell Abu al-Dhahab is an ancient Near Eastern archaeological site in Hor al-Malih, one of the al-Hammar al-Gharbi marshes, in Dhi Qar Governorate, Iraq. The name means "Father of Gold". Its ancient name is unknown though during its single period of occupation in the 2nd millennium BC it was part of the First Sealand dynasty. One other Sealand site, Tell Khaiber, has been excavated. It has been suggested that Pašime (Tell Abu Sheeja) also was a Sealand Dynasty site.
