Bo & gbreve;aziye H & ouml;y & uuml;& gbreve;& uuml; lies at the northwestern end of the vast and fertile Upper Khabur Region, which stretches along the southern foothills of the Ka & scaron;iari Mountains. Material culture remains unearthed at the mound by two seasons of excavations (2023-2024) shows significant similarities to assemblages known from other Upper Khabur sites. Our excavations in Trenches BE18-BE17 and BF18 on the northern slope of the mound focused on revealing the stratigraphic sequence in this area. Architectural remains of Building Levels I and II and finds from these contexts in Trench BE18 are dateable to the mid-3rd millennium BC. In Trench BE17, Building Level I also revealed finds that can be dated to the 3rd (especially mid-3rd) millennium BC, and in Trench BF18, ceramic sherds dateable to the 3rd millennium BC were found in Building Level III. This article presents new findings from Bo & gbreve;aziye H & ouml;y & uuml;& gbreve;& uuml; and discusses their significance in comparison with the results of surveys and excavations in the Upper Khabur Region, which have continued increasingly since the mid-1930s. We evaluate the significance of Bo & gbreve;aziye H & ouml;y & uuml;& gbreve;& uuml; as a regional center within the Upper Khabur basin, and we elucidate its habitation sequence and building levels in the light of our recent excavations. Based on a comparative evaluation of its material culture remains within a regional perspective, we contextualize Bo & gbreve;aziye H & ouml;y & uuml;& gbreve;& uuml; in relationship to the cultural horizons of the early and mid-3rd millennium BC in the Upper Khabur Valley.
