Titris Hoyuk (also Titriş Höyük) is an ancient Near East archaeological site in Turkey. It lies 45 kilometers north of Şanlıurfa, near the Euphrates river valley. It is a two period site from the 3rd millennium BC. Unlike most archaeological sites in the region the primary focus has been on excavating non-elite, mostly domestic, areas rather than elite spaces.Nishimura, Yoko, "North Mesopotamian Urban Neighborhoods at Titris Höyük in the Third Millennium BC", Making ancient cities: space and place in early urban societies. Andrew T. Creekmore III and Kevin D. Fisher, eds, pp. 74–110, 2014 A manna (duck) weight inscribed with the name of an official of Akkadian ruler Shu-durul was recovered from a looted context. It has been suggested that the city name was Dulu in the 3rd millennium BC.Archi, Alfonso.
