Since 1984 a Swiss Archaeological Mission is excavating on Tall al-Hamidiya in the Khabur-Region (Northeast Syria). The main goal of the project is to unearth Taidu, the capital of the Mitannian empire, which between the 17th and 13th centuries B.C. controlled Northern Syria. The Tall as a potential site of the capital was selected based on written sources and on an archaeological survey in 1982.
