Info Chagar Bazar was already settled in the Neolithic. Excavations revealed pottery belonging to the Halaf and Ubaid cultures. By the Early Bronze Age, in the third millennium BCE, Chagar Bazar had turned into a small town with the size of 12 hectares. The site appears to have been abandoned by the end of the third millennium BCE. It was resettled by Hurrians in the Middle Bronze Age. Fine examples of the Khabur ware pottery dating to this period have been discovered by the excavators.
