It is! Thanks for digging this up.  Surely this is "Girsu Tell" and not simply "Tell" as referenced in the linked article.

Girsu is the ancient Sumerian name of the city, Tello (Telloh, Tell Telloh) is the modern Arabic name of the pile of ruins.

"In addition to the artifacts, researchers also found offerings normally given after a battle, including clay figurines of soldiers.

"The recovered figurines, which originated in a range of places in the Hellenistic world, must in many instances have been carried to the temple by visitors,"

These might be interesting.
