Summary/Abstract: During the second excavation season of the Hungarian Archaeological Expedition of the Eötvös Loránd University,Budapest, we worked in four trenches on the tell of Grd-i Tle. In two trenches we continued the excavationsof the previous season, and we also opened two brand new ones. The main goal was to gain further understanding in the topography and chronology of the settlement. We unearthed preserved parts of a citygate, a fortification wall, a building with a function yet unknown, and we continued to study the debris layersof the citadel wall. This year the main part of the discovered features belonged to the Hellenistic-Parthianperiod, but it seems like that we got close the Neo-Assyrian layer in some of the trenches as well.
