Tell al-Dhiba'i, (also Tell edh-Dhiba'i 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.[1] Uzarzalulu/Zaralulu has been proposed as the original name of the city.[2][3][4] An alternative proposal is Šadlaš.[5] The city was occupied mainly during the Isin-Larsa period and Old Babylonian period.[6] Not to be confused with the Sassanian period site Tell al-Dhiba'i near Uruk.[7]
