Near Jamjamal, the archaeological site of Jarmo — considered among the oldest agricultural villages in the world, with occupation dating back more than 9,000 years — makes this Kurdish city in Iraq's Sulaymaniyah Governorate a point of historical interest. The city is home to the Gorani-speaking Hamawand tribe and sits in a disputed region of northern Iraq, formerly part of Kirkuk Governorate and now administered by the Kurdistan Region.
