After this period, the settlement of the city was moved to the lower points. Afterwards, it became a settlement area of ​​people in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. It is also known that this point is expressed as Burushattum in Assyrian sources. However, in the excavations in this region, no findings that prove this issue were found.
