Two short seasons in Tell el-‘Uwaili in 2019 allowed opening a new trench in the continuation of the excavations undertaken in the 80s on the northwest flank of the Tell where the Ubaid 0 levels (7th millennium BC) are close to the surface. The objective is to obtain a stratigraphic sequence as complete as possible between the most recent phases (Late Ubaid) at the summit of the mound and the Ubaid 0 levels downwards. 300 square meters were cleared and five architectural levels identified, numbered from 1 to 5 from top to bottom. The structures of level 5 correspond to the last Ubaid 0 level of occupation. The habitat is much denser than expected, and combines housing with small associated storage structures. The extension of the excavations in the next campaigns should bring more insights on the organization of the early Ubaid village.
