Tell Afis is an archaeological site in the Idlib region of northern Syria, and lies about fifty kilometres southeast of Aleppo.[1] The site is thought to be that of ancient Hazrek (or Hazrach; Hatarikka for the Assyrians) capital of Luhuti.[2][3] Also, this site may have been the ancient Hadrach, mentioned in the Bible.
The Stele of Zakkur, which contains a dedication in Aramaic to the god Iluwer, was discovered here in 1903.
The site has been excavated since 1986 by a joint project from the universities of Rome, Pisa and Bologna, under the direction of Stefania Mazzoni and Serena Maria Cecchini.[4]
The site was reported damaged by encampments during the Syrian civil war.[5]
