In the OP article, it mentioned that Mardaman was a built-up hill city called a "tell" which got my curiosity, particularly after seeing the photo of the archaeological site, that looked more like a flat-top pyramid.
Found this interesting reference in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hisarlik
(not the same site but similar)
A tell is an artificial hill, built up over centuries and millennia of occupation from its original site on a bedrock knob.
