  • Revisiting Hazar Merd Cave

    Open AccessSaman Heydari-Guran, Saman Heydari‐Guran et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2026

    First excavated in 1928 by Dorothy Garrod, Hazar Merd represents the earliest documented Palaeolithic site in the Zagros Mountains and a landmark in regional archaeological research. Nearly a century later, renewed investigations are refining the site’s stratigraphy and cultural sequence, providing a more nuanced understanding of its long-term occupation

  • The Later Prehistory of the Shahrizor Plain, Kurdistan Region of Iraq

    Open AccessRobert Carter, David Wengrow et al.ARTICLEIraq2020

    The Shahrizor Prehistory Project has targeted prehistoric levels of the Late Ubaid and Late Chalcolithic 4 (LC4; Late Middle Uruk) periods at Gurga Chiya (Shahrizor, Kurdistan region of northern Iraq), along with the Halaf period at the adjacent site of Tepe Marani. Excavations at the latter have produced new dietary and environmental data for the sixth millennium B.C. in the region, while at Gurga Chiya part of a burned Late Ubaid tripartite hou…

  • New evidence on Uruk expansion in the Central Mesopotamian Zagros Piedmont

    Régis Vallet, Johnny Samuele Baldi et al.ARTICLEPaléorient2017Cited by: 15References: 5

    The new data from the sites of Girdi Qala and Logardan (Iraqi Kurdistan) are starting to change the picture of Uruk culture expansion. In the Central Zagros Piedmont, it began as early as the second half of the local Late Chalcolithic 2 (LC2), contemporary with South Mesopotamian Early Uruk. The Uruk presence is documented not only by a large ceramic assemblage, characterized by a broad range of shapes and techniques, but also by numerous product…

  • Gurga Chiya and Tepe Marani

    Open AccessDavid Wengrow, Robert Carter et al.ARTICLEIraq2016

    Gurga Chiya and Tepe Marani are small, adjacent mounds located close to the town of Halabja in the southern part of the Shahrizor Plain, one of the most fertile regions of Iraqi Kurdistan. Survey and excavation at these previously unexplored sites is beginning to produce evidence for human settlement spanning the sixth to the fourth millennia, c . 5600–3300 cal. b.c . In Mesopotamian chronology this corresponds to the Late Neolithic through to Ch…

  • Report on the Excavations at Tell Sitak

    Open AccessSaber Ahmed Saber, Hussein Hamza et al.ARTICLEIraq2014

    Recent excavations at Tell Sitak in Iraqi Kurdistan contribute new information on the Neo-Assyrian and Sasanian occupation of this region. The site was most likely occupied between the eighth and sixth centuries b.c. , in other words during the Neo-Assyrian period and perhaps for some time after. Architectural remains suggest that during this phase its primary function may have been as a fortress; smaller finds include ceramics and one Neo-Assyri…

  • Report on the Excavations at Merquly

    Open AccessSaber Ahmed Saber, Zuhair Rejeb et al.ARTICLEIraq2014

    The site of Merquly is located in a mountain pass c . 40 km north-west of Slemani (Sulaimaniyah), Iraq. Excavation at the site in 2009 revealed a fortified structure whose rooms at multiple elevations reflect a terraced structure adapted to the steep landscape contours of its setting. Both architectural preservation and quantity of finds were relatively limited; however, despite the nearby presence of a prominent Parthian period rock relief, cera…

  • New Investigations in the Environment, History, and Archaeology of the Iraqi Hilly Flanks

    Open AccessMark Altaweel, Anke Marsh et al.ARTICLEIraq2012

    Recent palaeoenvironmental, historical, and archaeological investigations, primarily consisting of site reconnaissance, in the Shahrizor region within the province of Sulaymaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan are bringing to light new information on the region's social and socio-ecological development. This paper summarises two seasons of work by researchers from German, British, Dutch, and Iraqi-Kurdish institutions working in the survey region. Palaeoenv…
