Tell al-Dhiba'i

Tell al-Dhiba'i, (also Tell edh-Dhiba'i, Tell aḍ-Ḍibāʿī, and Tell adh-Dhiba), is an archaeological site in Baghdad Governorate (Iraq). It lies within the borders of modern Baghdad near Tell Muhammad and 3 kilometers northeast of Shaduppum (Tell Harmal), more specifically in the neighborhood of New Baghdad. Uzarzalulu/Zaralulu (Za-ra-lu-luki) has been proposed as the original name of the city. A text found at Tell Harmal mentioned "They swore the oath of Tišpak and Daduša the king (Before Ige-eḫ-luma high official of Zaralulu)". An alternative proposal is Šadlaš. Known rulers of Šadlaš are Sumu-Amnānum, Sumu-numḫim and Sumu-Šamaš. The city was occupied mainly during the Isin-Larsa period and Old Babylonian period. Not to be confused with the Sassanian period site Tell al-Dhiba'i near Uruk. A small (80 meters by 95 meters) site, Tell al-Aleimiyat, lies just to the northeast. It had three phases from Isin-Larsa to Kassite. Three cuneiform tablets and a number of cylinder seals were found there.
