History
Trade has flourished between Ergani and Mesopotamia during the third millennium BC. Ergani has a rich history of being a copper mining region.{{Cite book|title=The Socio-Economic Organisation of the Urartian Kingdom|last=Çiftçi|first=Ali|publisher=Brill|year=2017|isbn=9789004347588|pages=122}} Copper supplied the entire region from Anatolia, Northern Levant to Upper Mesopotamia, but most importantly down the Euphrates river to Lower Mesopotamia.
Nearby sites important for the copper industry was Arslandtepe to the west and Norsun Tepe to the east. This region eventuelly produced arsenical copper, where the copper was added with arsenic. Arsenic is highly poisonious and was later replaced by tin.
