The River Divides? Imagined Borders and Practised Borderities in the Lower Sirwan River Valley
This paper explores two sites recently excavated by the Sirwan Regional Project (SRP)—Tepe Kalan (SRP018) and Kani Masi (SRP094)—located just 14 km apart on opposite sides of the lower Sirwan river in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and occupied simultaneously during the Middle Bronze Age I ( c. 2000–1850 bce ). The MB I was a lively period of political negotiation and cultural reconfiguration across the region, with these dynamics playing out in va…
There and back again
During the fourth millennium BC, public institutions developed at several large settlements across greater Mesopotamia. These are widely acknowledged as the first cities and states, yet surprisingly little is known about their emergence, functioning and demise. Here, the authors present new evidence of public institutions at the site of Shakhi Kora in the lower Sirwan/upper Diyala river valley of north-east Iraq. A sequence of four Late Chalcolit…
Place, Encounter, and the Making of Communities. The Lower Sirwan/Upper Diyala River Valley from Prehistory to the Iron Age
This book sketches the first archaeological history of the lower Sirwan/upper Diyala river valley of north-east Iraq and adjacent landscapes over a period of c. 12,000 years, from the earliest signs of human presence until the mid-first millennium BCE, based on data gathered between 2013 and 2023 by the Sirwan Regional Project (SRP). The central research objective of the SRP is to move beyond traditional historical _topoi_ and their predominantly…
Archaeology as Cultural Heritage in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Cultural heritage in the Middle East has over the past decades been treated and discussed in terms of an unfolding catastrophe. International archaeologists have responded with a set of emergency measures that include the remote monitoring of site conditions, the exposing of the trade in illicit antiquities, and the provision of technical assistance and training for the conservation, reconstruction, and monitoring of monuments and sites. These in…

What's in a Vessel's Name? A Relational Text-Object Approach to the Uses of Mesopotamian Pottery
While pottery is the most abundant form of material culture found at Mesopotamian archaeological sites, references to pottery vessels in cuneiform texts are comparatively infrequent. Beyond one-to-one identification of common vessel names with archaeological pot types, rarely have these two sources of evidence been integrated to expand our understanding of Mesopotamian peoples' perceptions of, and engagements with, their material world. This arti…
Babylonian Encounters in the Upper Diyala River Valley
Kassite Babylonia counts among the great powers of the Late Bronze Age Near East. Its kings exchanged diplomatic letters with the pharaohs of Egypt and held their own against their Assyrian and Elamite neighbors. Babylonia's internal workings, however, remain understood in their outlines only, as do its elite's expansionary ambitions, the degrees to which they may have been realized, and the nature of ensuing imperial encounters. This is especial…

Tell Khaiber
Excavations at Tell Khaiber in southern Iraq by the Ur Region Archaeological Project have revealed a substantial building (hereafter the Public Building) dating to the mid-second millennium b.c . The results are significant for the light they shed on Babylonian provincial administration, particularly of food production, for revealing a previously unknown type of fortified monumental building, and for producing a dated archive, in context, of the …
