Preface I was induced to write this preface for a number of reasons, the most important of which was the pressures of time – as the series editor overseeing the publication of this book, on the eve of its publication, and with no hope that the author himself could focus his attention on it, I suggested this solution myself. Although it necessarily changes Rafał’s previous prefaces, I would like to refer to something that he usually emphasizes, and which moves me: the fact that we have managed to study 3,000 km2 of terra incognita. This venture bore the hallmarks of pioneering 19th-century archaeology, even though we took advantage of the new technical possibilities offered by the 21st century. It was absolutely pioneering work, and we proudly present its results in the fifth volume, published in less than three years since the first one. I have to admit that while my editorial work is usually accompanied by enthusiasm, compiling a catalogue of 59 archaeological sites has dulled it somewhat. The present volume of the SHIK series is devoted to the settlements located in the valley of the Greater Zab. On the right bank of the river, we surveyed 37 sites from the Bêxmê Gorge in the north to the village of Hancĩrūk Nūê in the south – 45 km from where the Greater Zab flows into the Tigris. On the left bank, we started at the place where the Bāstora stream flows into the Greater Zab, and headed north to the Bêxmê Gorge; here, we discovered 22 ancient settlements. From the very beginning, we planned to present the settlement according to geographical areas. If we look at the map, the Greater Zab Valley naturally fits into this division. It should be emphasized, however, that while the al-Ḫāzĩr Valley is an integral part of the Navkūr Plain, the settlement on the Greater Zab is only minimally related to the settlement of other regions, at least in the area between Bêxmê and Bāstora. This is because the river flows at the bottom of a deep valley, and settlement is possible on its banks only in a few places. The Greater Zab is a barrier rather than a thoroughfare, despite the fact that two important communication routes pass through the area we studied: one runs from the north-east, through the Spĩlĩk Pass, and leads to the Erbil Plain, and the other is the Royal Road of the kings of Persia. After discussing the aforementioned issues, we decided to introduce a new element into this and subsequent volumes of the site catalogue – namely, a chapter on Historical sources and archaeology. We have not done this before, confining ourselves to including such information in the description of each site, in the section called Interpretation and history. We were of the opinion that the priority of the SHIK series was to publish the material because it serves archaeologists who intend to undertake research in Iraqi Kurdistan. Now, however, we believe that some reflection is necessary, and we aim to include an overview of the history of each region in the subsequent volumes of the catalogue. The validity of this approach was further confirmed by the impression we gained while participating in the Gaugamela Workshop organized by Professor Michał Marciak from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow in February 2022. During the meeting, not only the location of the Gaugamela battlefield was discussed but also the routes used by Alexander’s and Darius’s armies to reach it. The participants also addressed the issue of the location of the Royal Bridge and fords across the Greater Zab, yet their arguments were purely theoretical, not supported by the knowledge of geographical realities. Therefore, we will look at this question from a practical point of view, hoping to offer new tools to historians, not only those studying the Hellenistic period. The author was able to address all these interesting issues thanks to the work of many people involved in the UGZAR project and the preparation of materials for this publication. In processing aerial and satellite imagery and geological maps, Dr Joanna Mar-

das has been especially instrumental in this respect. However, I would like to emphasize that the foundations for the publication of the catalogues of sites were laid by Professor Dorota Ławecka from the University of Warsaw, who was responsible for the ceramics studio, and the team working under her direction. We also cannot overlook the titanic work of Darek Piasecki, who photographed both the sites and the artefacts we collected there. The original chronological determinations were based on the Working Ceramic Typology (Ur 2013) and then re-examined and ultimately revised by persons working on individual periods. Corrections and new determinations were made by: Dorota Ławecka (Warsaw)

The research presented in this volume could not have been carried out and published without the financial support of the National Science Centre, which awarded the author two consecutive grants: 2011/03 / HS3 / B / 01472 (for the years 2012–2015) and 2014/13 / HS3 / B / 04872 (for 2015–2020). The publication of this work was also co-financed by the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań as part of the Excellence Initiative – Research University Program and by the Faculty of Archeology. We would like to thank the Rector of the University, Professor Bogumiła Kaniewska, and the Dean of the Faculty of Archeology, Professor Andrzej Michałowski, who have recognized the scientific potential of the SHIK series. Our field research would not have been possible without the assistance of the authorities of the Kurdistan Regional Government, in particular the General Director of Antiquities, Mr Zenaidin Abubakr Othman (Mala Awat), and Mr Kaifi M. Ali, Head of the Legal Affairs Section, the Director of Antiquities in Dohuk, Dr Hasan Ahmad Qasim, the Directors of Antiquities in Erbil, Mr Haidar H. Hussein and Mr Nader Babakan, and the Director of the Ākrê Antiquities Center, Mr Hiwa Shimal. Following in the author’s footsteps, I would also like to thank my colleagues who cooperated with the UGZAR project within the framework of the Assyrian Landscapes Research Group, namely: the Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey directed by Jason Ur of Harvard University, the Land of Nineveh Archaeological Project directed by Daniele Morandi Bonacossi of the University of Udine and the Eastern Ḫabur Archaeological Survey directed by Peter Pfälzner of the Eberhard-Karls University in Tübingen, as well as their team members. Observing their activities has enriched my experience as an archaeologist and editor. I would also like to thank Professor Michał Marciak from the Jagiellonian University for reassuring me that I had gone in the right direction when designing this book. Special thanks are due to Dr Alexander J. Edmonds from Institute for the History of Ancient Civilisation, University of Changchun (China), whose suggestions enriched the Historical sources and archaeology chapter and brought a new element to the discussion on the location of the bridge over the Greater Zab.

Introduction The present publication consists of several volumes presenting the registered dataset as a catalogue of settlement sites, documented caves, and architectural remains. Each volume is structured in a similar way. For each site/monument, there is a section containing its description and a section presenting collected material comprising of plates of drawings and/or photographs as well as tables with the description of the illustrated fragments shown on facing pages. The purpose of this introduction is to explain how the data collected were processed and how information presented in this and the other volumes of the publication is organized. The tabular presentation of data and the never-ending quest to save space required synthesis of some information, and, in many cases, abbreviations were used which may not be well-known or apparent to the reader. These will be explained below. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE The publication numbers of sites, beginning with the letters “US” (for UGZAR Site), were assigned after the conclusion of fieldwork according to geographical order, starting in the northeastern part of the study area, and allotted to successive geomorphological units, as they were defined during fieldwork. The field numbers of sites beginning with the letter “S” are given because field reports and earlier publications (prior to 2018) referred to the sites using S-numbers. These numbers have been assigned during the progress of fieldwork and reflect the itineraries of the UGZAR team rather than the historical or geographical reality. The name of the site was given based on the information acquired locally, either in the neighbouring village or at the site. The transcription of Kurdish names was standardized according to the rules set by Feryad Fazil Omar in his Deutsch-Kurdisches Wörterbuch (Zentralkurdisch/Soranî) published in Berlin in 2005. Detailed explanation of the way in which Kurdish names are transliterated within the present publication is presented in the “Atlas” volume. However, it must be recalled that more than ten different dialects of Kurdish are in constant use within the surveyed territory, with some of these belonging to the Badiani group of dialects, and others to that of Sorani. It is thus possible that some local forms were corrupted or transformed when recorded by inspectors using their own dialects. When no information about the name of the site could be acquired or the informants did not know its name, one of two options was chosen: either the site was named after a neighbouring village or an area in which it was located and a running number was added to the name (for instance, Grd-ĩ Āş-ĩ Geūre 1, 2, etc.), or the phrase “no name” was used. Both these solutions have their respective advantages and disadvantages. The former creates a name which is not known locally and thus might be misleading for the local population but provides a precise way of differentiating sites from one another. The “no name” label clearly demonstrates that the site has no name, but might cause identification problems when it is assigned to a number of neighbouring sites. Moreover, these two ways of naming sites were not used consistently; during the same season, there were several sites provided with the “no name” label, and several provided with the “name and number” label. Therefore, it was decided that the US site number is the most precise method of identifying the documented archaeological sites. Consequently, throughout this volume and the other volumes containing both the site catalogue and the settlement studies, the sites will be referred to only by their US site numbers, even if they have local names. The number and the name in AASI/ASI are given only if the site in question has been previously recorded by the Antiquities Service of Iraq and listed either in the gazetteer Archaeological

Sites in Iraq (Salman 1970) or plotted on maps in the Atlas of Archaeological Sites in Iraq (Salman 1976). It must be noted that the Kurdish names of sites, typical for the area, are often corrupted in both publications due to the difficulties with writing Kurdish in classical Arabic script (cf. the case of site US 025), the inability of non-Kurdish speakers to hear all the sounds of the Kurdish language, the abandonment of vowels in writing, or, indeed, for all of these reasons at once. Moreover, in some cases, probably due to population movements caused mainly by the anti-Kurdish policy of the Iraqi government of the Saddam Hussein’s era, some names were clearly forgotten, with new names being given to these sites by the new population. For a more detailed analysis of working with ASI and AASI, cf SHIK vols. 1 and 2, in preparation. The area of the site is, in fact, the area covered by sherd scatter. It was calculated on the basis of measured site-limit points which were fed into the QGIS software. Two rules were observed when determining the extent of the sherd scatter. Firstly, when the site showed an uneven distribution of material of the same date, the spaces between the concentrations of material were considered part of the site, despite the fact that scatter in these areas was usually very thin. Secondly, when the sherd scatter extended beyond what appeared to be the morphologically-determined limits of the site, the area of the scatter was treated as the site. In consequence, the area given in the description of the site is often larger than the area of the site itself, but the difference should be estimated at less than 10%. The relation to water. The hydrology of present-day Kurdistan has changed dramatically in recent times. According to local informants, the water level on the Navkūr Plain dropped from about 20 m below the level of the plain 20 to 25 years ago to 130–150 m today. As a result, nearly all smaller streams are now seasonal; the same can be said about larger streams, like Kārbk, and even about rivers like the Gomel and al-Hazĩr which flow through the central part of the plain. Some of the streams feature a secondary flow of water used at some points along its course for watering fields and gardens, the presence of which is not related in any way to natural conditions, as most of the springs located in the area are also presently dry. For this reason, it was decided that present conditions would not be taken into account when referring to the nature of the flow in the stream valleys. Instead, the determinations were made on the basis of available historical maps showing the hydrology of the area in the earlier part of the 20th century AD. The same maps also provided information on the main existing springs. As a matter of fact, a considerable number of settlements were recorded in their vicinity, which strongly suggests that the springs have dried up in the most recent times. The observation conditions refer to the conditions on site regarding the visibility of archaeological material on the surface which might thus directly influence the archaeologist’s ability to collect a representative sample. In this respect, “good” means good visibility of the surface, for example on ploughed or harrowed fields, or on fields with low stubble left after the harvest. “Difficult” designates partial visibility of the soil surface, for instance on fields with high stubble with a lot of straw. “Bad” conditions mean that the original surface is entirely or almost entirely covered with vegetation, structures, or gravel. Often, especially on larger sites, different parts of the site presented different conditions. In such cases, two designations were used, for instance “good to difficult” or “difficult to bad”. Areas collected are marked by red squares within the relevant slots of the table. If only one area (A) is marked, it is advisable to consult the entry “Collection areas” in the “Description of the site” for the nature of the area: i.e. whether it was marked out within the limits of the site, or whether it corresponded to the entire area of the site.

Introduction The geographical position is given as measured by a Garmin GPSmap CSx60 hand-held GPS receiver. The readings provided refer to a point marked as “MP” on the contour plan of the site, which was also used as a reference point for total-station measurements of the site, if such were taken (for the process of documenting the sites, see the Methodology chapter in the first volume of the publication). The position is given in two different reference grids: WPS84 in degrees, minutes and seconds, and UTM 38S in meters. Usually, two instruments were used in the field at the same time, one set to the former standard, and the other to the latter. The height above sea level is given as read from the GPS device mentioned above. However, at some point during the fieldwork, it became clear that height readings taken with one instrument could differ by as much as 15 m from the readings taken with the other. As no information about the instrument used to take any particular reading was recorded, it is impossible to control the deviation of the reading; moreover, there is no means to determine which instrument was used for measuring the height of a particular site. As a result, values given in the description of the site should be treated as very approximate, with the standard deviation of the height determination as large as ±15 m in contrast to ±2–3 m as indicated by the instrument. As no information on the readings of benchmarks located in the study area was available to the team, all contour lines plotted on the site plans are provided with relative height values, counted from the lowest contour line (marked as “0 m”). This solution was chosen to facilitate the evaluation of the relative height of mounded sites. The description is divided into five sections. “Location” refers to the site’s location in respect to modern settlements and water sources. “Description of the site” refers to the morphology of the site and its most important features. “Areas collected” lists all the collecting areas, describing their location and giving their area in hectares (measured using the QGIS software). It also provides the percentage of the area of the site covered by collection areas. The “Damages” section lists damages caused by erosion and animal or human activity, and identifies potential threats to the site’s existence. “Interpretation and history” contains a summary of the collected information, providing a wider perspective on the site by contextualising it in comparison with other settlements of the same period. Periods of occupation show the number of sherds identified for each of the evidenced settlement periods on the site, rendering an estimation of the settled area per period. The number of identified sherds corresponds to the final identifications given in the “UGZAR period” column in tables with descriptions of plates illustrating material from particular sites (see below). The settled area is my own estimation which was done according to the following rules: In the case of sites where all of the material was collected, the whole area was counted as occupied for periods evidenced by two or more sherds. For periods evidenced by only one sherd, the area of the site was halved. In the case of sites where not all of the material was collected, the whole area of the site was counted as occupied for the periods evidenced by sherds collected in all collection areas. However, when a particular period was evidenced only in some of the collection areas, the settled area was not calculated as a sum of these areas, but rather was estimated depending on the outline of the site and the location of collection areas in which sherds of a particular period were present. If the site had a lower town, its whole area was included in the count of period(s) evidenced in the lower town, despite the fact that it was only sampled. A full survey of each site (for which we have no time and resources) and excavations will most likely come to correct these estimates.

DESCRIPTIONS OF PLATES Artifacts collected on the sites are presented on three types of plates provided with three various labels: PL.PP.XXX.X, PL.DF. XXX.X and PL.MF.XXX.X. The label PL.PP. is an abbreviation of "Plate. Pottery Profiles", PL.DF. of "Plate. Decorated Fragments" and PL.MF. of "Plate. Miscellaneus Finds". .XXX stand for US number of the site, and .X is a running number of the plates for a particular site. DRAWINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF POTTERY FRAGMENTS Drawings of pottery are reproduced at a scale 1 : 4. All the drawings and photographs of the material are provided with tables containing information on individual features of each item, including dimensions, colour, technological description, information on decoration and, where possible, a proposed dating. Some of the finds are both drawn and photographed – usually, these are pottery fragments with more elaborate decoration, for which a drawing would not suffice. The abbreviations used in these tables are presented in more detail in the following section. The number column contains the individual number of a sherd, composed of a letter designating a particular collection area and a running number. Sometimes the “+” sign appears between numbers, e.g., “A13+22” (or less often “A12+C3”), which means that two or more sherds were joined after the material from the area/ site had already been allocated numbers. In the first case, two joined sherds came from the same area, in the second case, from different areas. The WCT column contains the interim identification of a particular sherd to period and type (separated by a slash) as defined in the Working Ceramic Typology (Ur 2013). The division into periods is summarised in the table below. In rare instances, these determinations are given in square brackets, this meaning that the original field identification was rejected, and that the fragment in question was either identified as belonging to another period or left without a period determination (cf. the “UGZAR period” column). The relation between the Working Ceramic Typology and the determinations used in this publication will be discussed more extensively in the chapters devoted to the study of particular periods within the summary volume of the publication (SHIK vol. 11, in preparation). The UGZAR period column contains the determinations of periods made when the pottery material was studied for the final publication. Originally, it was planned that an internal typology would be proposed for every identified period, but this task proved to be too time-consuming to be accomplished in the relatively short time left for the preparation of the final publication. An empty field means that the sherd in question could not be identified as belonging to any particular period. An extensive study of the pottery typology, this being beyond the scope of the present publication, is planned for the future. The diameter column gives the rim or base diameter in centimetres, usually measured on the outside of the rim/base. The height column gives the height of the sherd in centimetres, measured when reconstructing the original position of the fragment within the vessel, using either the rim/base surfaces or the decoration and/or traces of forming. Thus, it is not just the physical dimension of the sherd. When it was possible to determine the complete original height of the vessel, the measurement is preceded by the abbreviation c. The thickness column gives the thickness of the wall of the vessel in centimetres. When there is an observable difference in the thickness of the sherd, two numbers are given: the first one refers to the measurement taken in the upper part of the fragment, and the second in the lower part of the fragment.

Introduction The break column contains the description of the colour(s) visible in the break of a sherd. If there is more than one colour, then they are listed from the outside to the inside in separate rows. A slash at the end of the row divides the description of the break in the upper part of the vessel from the description of the lower part of the sherd. If present, traces of overfiring in the pottery kiln are noted in the last row. Abbreviations l. light

p. pale

d. dark

The “temper” column contains information on the size, frequency, and composition of intentional additions to the paste used for shaping a given vessel. In order to achieve the highest possible level of coherence between descriptions, most of the determinations were made by Dr Dorota Ławecka from the University of Warsaw. However, especially in the 2012 season, she shared this task with other team members. The present author described pottery from sites US 144-146, US 148, US 153-154, and US 147 (Areas A, C, D and F). The pottery from US 156 was described by Dr Joanna Mardas. Finally, during the 2015 season, pottery from US 136-137 and US 139 was described by Mrs Michalina Dzwoniarek-Konieczna. Three main groups of tempers were identified: vegetal (denoted by the letter V), mineral (M), and pottery grit (PG); they are always listed in separate rows. Occasionally, if no temper was observed in the break, the designation 0 was used, and, if the quality of the clay is high, the abbreviation fc (for fine clay) is added. The vegetal and the pottery grit tempers are differentiated only based on the size of particles. Abbreviations t tiny

s small

m medium

l large

xl extra large

These are always put in brackets, and if several sizes of particles are present, they are separated by full stops. The same categories are used in the case of the mineral temper, but here different types of minerals could be identified as well. Abbreviations b basalt

f feldspar

g granite

l limestone

m mica

q quartzite

u unidentified

In the case of this last group of tempers, the colour of particles is usually noted to allow the identification of the temper in the future. Finally, the presence of one of three types of sand is noted: fs fine sand

s sand

cs coarse sand

A standard density of the temper particles is not noted. For extremes, the following abbreviations were used: f. few

a. abundant

xa. extremely abundant

The surface treatment column describes the way in which the surfaces of the vessel’s walls were handled after shaping. The treatment observed is given from the outside to the inside. If only one surface is described, then it is assumed that the other surface (usually internal) was not treated in any way. If there are no additional notes, it is assumed that both surfaces of the fragment received the same treatment.

Abbreviations t. top

b. bottom

r. rim

h. handle

Five main types of surface treatment were noted: 0 no treatment

WS wet smoothed

B burnished

P polished

R roughened

Two types of slip are distinguished: S (slip) means that the surface of the pot was intentionally covered with a thin layer of fine clay dispersed in water, and Ss (self-slip) that a similar but thinner layer of clay has built up during the drying of the pot. Sometimes, the surface treatment could not be determined due to the fact that the original surface had been damaged by erosion (er.), concealed by a layer of calcite crust (denoted by ?), or covered with painted, moulded, or glazed decoration obscuring the visibility of the surface (deco). Other abbreviations tt. tool traces

scr. scraping

ct. cutting

The colour of the surface is determined using Munsell Soil Chart™ reading on the dry, clean outer surface of the sherd. If there is more than one colour, then that on the upper part of the sherd is noted first. As the colours are read from a dry surface, the sample quite often does not correspond exactly to one of the colours in the Munsell Soil Chart; hence, the abbreviations dr – darker, lr – lighter or pr – paler are added after the colour’s symbol. Decoration. If the surface of the sherd is decorated, one of the following abbreviations is used in this column: APL applicated

CMB combed

EXC excised

GLZ glazed

GRV grooved

INC incised

MLD moulded

PNT painted

RBD ribbed

STM stamped

When two (or more) decoration techniques appear in combination, their codes are separated by a “+” sign. It is assumed that the decoration is placed on the outer surface of the fragment. When that is not the case, abbreviations r. – rim or in. – inside are respectively employed. The colour of the decoration is given only in the case of painted or glazed decoration. Again, the Munsell Soil Chart is used to determine the colour. Word description is used only in the case of glazed decoration when the colour does not match any of the samples present in the Munsell chart. The colour designations are preceded either by out. or in. for the external and internal surface, respectively; lack of such abbreviations means that the colour of the glaze is the same on both surfaces. If more than one colour is used, they are listed in separate rows. Occasionally, other designations listed in the “Colour of the surface” section could be used here. Forming technique. Only basic potter’s techniques were identified: H by hand

NTW no trace of wheel visible

SW on slow wheel

Occasionally, more than one technique was used on the same sherd; in such cases, the designations are linked by a “+” sign. Tables containing the description of pottery sherds not illustrated have an additional column with the designation of a similar sherd from that site which is illustrated.

Geomorphology

27

Geomorphology of the Greater Zab Valley The area covered by our research is limited by natural boundaries: the al-Ḫāzīr river to the west, the Greater Zab and the Bāstora Çāĩ stream to the south, and the first ranges of the Kurdistan Mountains to the north and east. Moreover, the Greater Zab Valley divides this territory into two equal parts. The character and morphology of the valley are important for the analysis of the settlement in this region. Both are largely the result of the geological structure of the areas through which the river flows towards the Tigris. This consists of sedimentary rocks formed at the bottom of the shallow sea filling the space between the Arabian Plate and the mountains of the Alpine Orogeny in the Tertiary Age. The most common are conglomerates of the so-called Baḫtiari Formation, formed in the late Pliocene. In the area of Makrdān and Çeme, older deposits are present, brought to the surface by the folding responsible for the uplift of the Pĩrmām and Bābacĩsk mountain ranges, located east of the Zab Valley. They are limestone and sandstone formations belonging to the so-called Fars Formation, formed in the late Miocene and early Pliocene (map on pp. 28-19). The original plain, formed mainly of conglomerates, has been significantly transformed by erosive and alluvial processes, which are caused by rainfall and watercourse activity. The most evident are the effects of the activity of the waters of the Greater Zab, as a result of which three terraces towering above the active river valley were formed. Moreover, strong erosive processes can be observed on the surface of the terraces created in this way (gully formation, especially on the highest terrace), while alluvial processes, which involved the deposition of soil on the terrace tread, dominate on the middle and the lower terraces. It should also be mentioned that the Zab Valley clearly changes its character in the area studied by UGZAR. In the upper part, from the Bêxmê Gorge to the mouth of the Bāstora Çāĩ, it is an entrenched river, meandering at the bottom of a deep gorge, the boundaries of which are marked by the edges of the highest terrace (cf. MAP.GZV.1-3, and the enclosed Satellite Imagery, and photos on pp. 31, bottom, and 33, top). South of the mouth of the Bāstora Çāĩ, the valley widens and is bounded by the edges of the middle terrace. The Zab no longer meanders, but rather becomes a braided river (MAP.GZV.4, and the corresponding Satellite Imagery, and photos on p. 37).

the Xārūk–Kvrasor area, the middle terrace is lower (from 3 to 5 m on the left bank and from 5 to 7 m on the right bank), and access to the river valley is quite easy (p. 35, top). Finally, the region of Çeme– Gobāl, located about 5 km to the north, offers unique conditions. The middle terrace on the right bank is 3 to 5 m high, while on the left bank, instead of a high cut bank, a 3-km-wide plain opens towards the Navkūr Plain, between Şāx-ĩ Sart in the north and Şāx-ĩ Zark Bardaraş in the south (cf. Satellite Image on p. 32). In addition, a road bridge that was planned as part of an expressway leading to Duhok was built here and is currently used by the local road connecting Rovĩā with Erbil. It seems that due to the favourable terrain in this part of the valley, it was also the place of crossing the Zab in antiquity. The lower part of the Upper Zab Valley offers different settlement and communication conditions. The area of the middle terrace forms a plain that extends from its edge for 300 to 1500 m. The edge itself varies in height: south of Dālarê, it is only 3-4 m high but gradually rises, reaching about 15 m in Bānanān. South of this village, its height decreases again, and it ranges from 5 to 3 m in the rest of the valley (photos on p. 37). At the same time, the hills that are the remnants of the higher terrace come close enough to the river to hinder travel only in two places, east of Hāncĩrūk Nūê, and in Xandak respectively. The left bank, located within the EPAS project’s concession, was not surveyed by the UGZAR team, but based on field observation and satellite imagery, it appears to consist entirely of the low edge of the middle terrace of the river. Thus, this part of the Zab Valley provides good conditions for travelling along its course on both the left and right banks. Moreover, the width of the valley and easy access to the river mean that during low water level periods, it could probably be forded in many places. However, at times when the Greater Zab carries nearly four times more water than in the autumn, crossing the river could be problematic in most places.

The upper part of the Zab Valley does not provide good conditions for settlement. The soil-covered treads of the middle terrace form small enclaves in the concave parts of the river meanders, separated from each other by cut banks jutting out for 50 m or more from their convex parts (photos on pp. 31, bottom, and 35. It is, therefore, not possible to travel along the river; to reach any of these enclaves, one has to leave the valley and hike through higher or lower hill ranges. The aforementioned cut banks alternating along the river also make crossing the Zab very difficult because it is virtually impossible to either descend into the valley or exit it on the other side of the river. Thus, the river can only be crossed in places where the slope of the highest terrace recedes from the riverbed. There are only a few such places in this part of the valley. In the north, it is the area of Āstrĩān–Qandīl (photo on p. 31, top), through which runs the modern road connecting Ākrê with Harĩr and Şaqlaūa. The second such region is located in the central part of this section of the valley, on its left bank, between the villages of Srkvrūk and Māndāĩn Žêr. To the north-west of the river, which flows in a straight line here, there is a fertile plain about 10 km long and up to 4 km wide (photo on p. 33, bottom. The tread of the middle terrace rises 10 to 15 m above the river level, which, on the one hand, protects it from being flooded when the water level is high, and, on the other, allows the river to be used as a water source. Access to this region is also difficult – the only road leads through the northern slopes of the Sart Mountains, which were almost uninhabited in the past (cf. Satellite Image on p. 32). Further south, in

History and Archaeology

41

Historical sources and archaeology Generally considered the cradle of Near Eastern civilisation, the Fertile Crescent includes the plains extending from the foot of the Zagros, Kurdistan, and Taurus Mountains. It is only ten years ago that comprehensive surface surveys of this second subarea, located in north-eastern Iraq, were first conducted, making it possible to outline the settlement history of these lands. Our project, which is part of this international effort, covers the foothills of the first ranges of the Kurdistan Mountains: the Ākrê Massif and the Harĩr Massif. Our findings show that settlements appeared in this region around 6500 BC, and that the population grew slowly over the next four millennia. People lived in small rural settlements, the number of which increased to some 58 by the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. Pottery from the south of Mesopotamia was found at five sites from the Late Chalcolithic 3-5 period, which confirms that the expansive southern Uruk culture also reached our study area. After a settlement crisis around 2500 BC, the eastern part of the Navkūr Plain and the foothills of the Ākrê Massif were colonised by newcomers from the banks of the Tigris, who established not only new villages, but also a city of 34 ha (US 018). It was an administrative and political centre associated with a cave sanctuary near the village of Gūndk, where three rock reliefs were carved, these being, in my opinion, the oldest surviving monuments of this kind in Mesopotamia. The 2nd millennium BC was a period of settlement stabilisation: the number of settlements was similar throughout, and 3-4 centres existed, each with an area of 10-15 ha, all located west of the Greater Zab, rather than one single, large city. It was not until the Neo-Assyrian period (919-612 BC) that major changes occurred. The rulers of Assur invested in agricultural production by building irrigation systems and populating Assyria with people deported from other parts of the empire, thus providing labour the cities and fields (Oded 1979). After the crisis caused by the fall of Assyria, the settlement fabric was rebuilt in the Hellenistic and Parthian periods, ultimately reaching its apex in the early Middle Ages (Late Sasanian period, c. AD 500-750). This was due to the arrival of Christians in this area – the Council of Ephesus in 431 forced the Nestorians living in Byzantium to flee eastwards, where they became subjects of the Sasanian kings. During this period, the number of known settlements increased to 125, and churches and monasteries were built in many of them, traces of which were found and documented by the UGZAR team. The advent of Islam brought a decrease in the intensity of settlement, but the number of settlements remained the same until the Ottoman period, oscillating between 60 and 70. The rare mentions of the UGZAR study area in historical sources (Battini 2011; Fuchs 2011; Jakob 2011; Maiocchi 2019; Ziegler 2011) suggest that this part of the Fertile Crescent was not of significant interest to the great empires of Mesopotamia and Persia. In this volume, which is devoted to the Greater Zab Valley, I would like not only to discuss the development of settlement in this area, but also to comment on its importance for the development of communication routes, both at the regional and supra-regional levels. I have three of these in mind: the first is the river itself; the second is the north-south route leading from the Erbil Plain to the region of Lake Urmia and on to Azerbaijan; and the third is the Royal Road from Elam and Fars in Iran through northern Mesopotamia and Anatolia, all the way to Ionia.

Settlement in the valley of the Greater Zab When considering the settlement along the Greater Zab and its role in communication, it is necessary to take into account the site of Grd Çem-ĩ Geūre (US 071) (Koliński 2020a, 490-547) in addition to the sites presented in this volume. This settlement on the Kārbk stream, just 1.3 km from the bank of the Zab, was of strategic importance because it controlled the eastern entrance to the natural corridor leading from the Zab Valley to the Navkūr Plain. Its sig-

nificance is evidenced by the long and uninterrupted settlement sequence documented at the site and its size. The site was inhabited from the Neolithic to the Islamic period, the mound reaching about 6 ha in area from the mid-3rd millennium BC onwards. During the 2nd millennium BC, as well as in the Hellenistic and Parthian periods, the area at the base of the tell was also inhabited, which increased the site’s area to almost 10 ha. Unfortunately, we do not yet know its ancient name. In the Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic periods, the lands around the Zab do not seem to have attracted much interest. Only one settlement has been documented for the Hassuna period, corresponding to the early stage of development of this culture. The Halaf and Ubaid cultures occurred at only three sites, including US 163 and US 071, the largest and most important in the river valley. The situation changed somewhat during LC 1-3: US 071 and US 163 were still inhabited, but two new, smaller settlements appeared in the central part of the valley. The subsequent LC 3-5 period is represented at four sites: US 071 and US 163, characterised by a long settlement history, and US 120 and US 150, inhabited exclusively during that time. Southern and northern types of Uruk ceramics have been found at the first three, while only southern examples are present at US 150. This suggests that it was a typical “colony” – an enclave of people who had migrated from the south. In the LC 3-5 period, we observe the northward spread of the Uruk culture, but the distribution of sites in the region which we studied indicates that the newcomers did not venture further than the Greater Zab, and that the river marks the northernmost limit of their expansion. I will only mention that east of the Greater Zab Valley, southern pottery was found at two more sites (US 273 and US 292). In my opinion, sites such as US 120 and US 163, where both northern and southern Uruk pottery has been found, were points of contact between these two communities. This interpretation is quite certain in the case of US 120 – a settlement located on the right bank of the Zab, only 1.25 km away from US 150 on the left bank, where, as mentioned, only pottery of the southern variety was found. With the onset of the Bronze age, the settlement landscape changed dramatically. Ceramics of the Ninevite 5 culture occur at 58 sites in our study area. In the Greater Zab Valley, we recorded 11 of them, including US 071. A new type of pottery appears in the sediments where we previously recorded prehistoric periods: US 071 and US 163. However, nine new settlements were founded during this time: three in the lower section of the river (all on the left bank) and six in the middle part of the valley (one on the left bank and five on the right bank). They are all small, ranging from 0.4 to 1.5 ha; only US 152 and US 153 located in Kvrsor, with a total area of more than 3.5 ha, may constitute a single, larger settlement. Another change in the settlement structure occurred in the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. The number of sites in the Zab Valley dropped from ten to seven, but most of them were large villages of several hectares. At the same time, a city (US 018) was established in the eastern part of the Navkūr Plain and became a local political and administrative centre. Most of the towns mentioned above were inhabited throughout the 2nd millennium BC. One of the few exceptions is US 163, which was abandoned at the end of period 8 after more than 3,000 years. It is worth mentioning that US 110 and US 071, which lie on the right bank, reached their maximum size during that time: 14.66 and 9.72 ha, respectively. Most of the remaining settlements fall into the category of villages of 2 to 4 ha. The function of one of the settlements (US 141) is unclear; it is located on the remains of the highest river terrace, without direct access to farmland, but with a good view of the Zab Valley and its east bank. It was most likely a small administrative centre controlling this part of the Zab Valley. The next changes in the settlement structure took place in the Neo-Assyrian period. As many as 19 sites were established in the

The Greater Zab Valley

42

Historical sources and archaeology Zab Valley during that time. Two of them, US 071 and US 110, most likely maintained the status of towns achieved during the 2nd millennium BC (as evidenced by the size of the inhabited area). On the other hand, a new major centre appeared – the site of US 164 in the upper part of the valley, with an area of about 20 ha. Since the Assyrian expansion and exploitation of territories was conducted in a deliberate manner, the founding of a city on this stretch of the river indicates its economic nature – it was a port. This was most likely the place from which grain harvested on Daşt-ĩ Harĩr, a plain at the core of the Assyrian province of Ḫabruri, was transported to Kalḫu (Koliński 2019). As many as five of the aforementioned 19 sites were hamlets or even individual farms. The middle terrace of the Zab south of Dālarê was particularly densely settled. There were as many as 11 settlements, including six villages (between 1 and 4 ha), four hamlets (0.5 to 1 ha), and one farm (0.4 ha). The fall of Assyria destroyed the settlement structure in the river valley. In the post-Assyrian period, only six of the 19 former sites remained inhabited. Those that survived were about half the size, and US 110 went from being a significant town of 14 ha to a settlement of merely 1 ha. In the Hellenistic period, the settlement network was restored, usually by reoccupying some sites that had been inhabited during the Neo-Assyrian period. The larger centres on the west bank, such as US 071 and US 110, were still in use, with the area of the latter expanding to 6 ha. The situation was completely different on the east bank of the Zab, where no sites from the Hellenistic and Parthian periods have been found at all. The reason for this state of affairs is unclear. Another change in the settlement structure took place in the Sasanian period, with its apex in the Late Sasanian period, when the settlement density increased to a maximum, reaching as many as 125 archaeological sites throughout the study area. This trend was also reflected in the situation in the Zab Valley, where 15 sites of the Sasanian period have been recorded; their number increased to 30 in the Late Sasanian period. The development observed was influenced by historical events; the Council of Ephesus in 431 declared the Nestorian doctrine a heresy, which was confirmed by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, and thus forced its followers to leave Byzantium. They migrated eastwards, where they established new settlements. In the Late Sasanian period, there were clearly three categories of sites. The first included towns, and its new representative was US 164, with an area of about 33 ha in this period. It was located in the northern part of the valley, near where Āv-ĩ Hrāş flows into the Zab. Its role must have been similar to that of the city in Neo-Assyrian times (see above). US 071 still existed, but the area inhabited decreased to about 6 ha. The second category consisted of villages, typically from 1.5 to 4 ha in size. Six of these lay on the west bank, all on terraces offering good conditions for agriculture, and six more on the east bank. Finally, the remaining 17 sites were less than 1 ha in size and were probably farms scattered among the villages. As a result, almost all the agricultural land available on the Zab’s middle terrace was converted into fields. At the beginning of the Islamic era, the number of settlements in the Zab Valley dropped to 17; with the exception of US 155, they had all been inhabited in the previous period. US 164 appears to have retained its importance, but its area decreased by about 50%. Other sites were usually villages or farms. Again, there is a disparity in the distribution of settlements on the east and west banks of the river. In contrast to the situation observed in the Hellenistic and Parthian periods, the east bank was more densely inhabited: three villages were located in the Grd Māmāk area, and the remaining seven sites were scattered along the riverbank. On the west bank, there were only three villages and four homesteads. The evidence of settlement in the mid-to-late Islamic period is inconclusive. There were two villages on the right bank and seven more on the east bank, evenly dispersed along the river. All of the aforementioned settlements were small, their area not exceeding 2 ha.

Finally, in the Ottoman period, which probably continued into the modern era, the settlement along the Zab increased again. Sixteen sites have been identified, half of them on the left bank and the rest on the right bank. They were all very small, only three of them being larger than 1 ha.

Communication Routes and Trails Route 1. The Greater Zab

An examination of the map suggests that the Zab Valley was a convenient route connecting the Tigris plains in the southeast with the highlands and valleys at the foot of the Kurdistan Mountains. However, written sources do not confirm this fact, and the scale of the use of this waterway for communication is unknown. There are only two accounts that testify to heavy materials being floated down the river on boats or rafts. The first dates to the Neo-Assyrian period and is a contract for the purchase of grain in the city of Ḫiptūnu in the Ḫabruri province (ND 2335, cf. Parker 1954, 44-45; Postgate 1976, 135-137). The transaction was made in the city of Kalḫu, and the contract mentions that the purchased grain will be transported from Ḫiptūnu on a kelek-raft. The province of Ḫabruri encompasses the Harĩr Plain, the north-western end of which is adjacent to the Greater Zab Valley (Radner 2006-2008,46). There is no doubt that the river used to transport the grain must have been the Greater Zab, which was connected with Kalḫu by a channel beginning south of the confluence of al-Ḫazīr and the Greater Zab (Ur, Reade 2015). Due to the strength of the current, transport on the Greater Zab was only possible downstream and only during the high-water season, i.e. from May to early July. In other months, low water levels make navigation difficult: in many places, rock thresholds appear in the riverbed, which makes floating impossible (see photo on p. 33, top). The period of high water partly coincides with the harvest season in the Middle East, so the transported grain presumably came from a new harvest. The second historical mention comes from the Middle Ages, and concerns the transport of building material for the new church of the Bēṯ 'Āwé monastery. Thomas of Margā writes in the Book of Governors that the stone for building the church and for burning lime was quarried in the Děbhar Ḥewtōn Mountains, and transported on rafts on the Zab (Wallis Budge 1897, I, xlviii, II, 397-400). In his historical reconstructions, Fiey locates the Ḥewtōn district in the limestone range of Şāx-ĩ Bābacĩsk, in earlier publications typically called Gara Surǧ (Hoffmann 1880, 233; Fiey 1965, 223, 246). If the proposed location of the monastery at US 097 is correct (Koliński 2020b, 464-519), then Şāx-ĩ Bābacĩsk appear to have been a convenient source of building material, which, according to Thomas of Margā, could have been transported to a destination 10 miles downstream. Currently, the Greater Zab is not used for transportation. Occasionally, one can see small boats or inflated tires used for fishing with hand-thrown nets. There is only a small ferry for crossing the river at Çamakaĩ Sarû; a similar crossing exists at Kvrsor/Xārūk, but only a boat is used there. The situation is thus different from that in the 19th century, when there was a kelek-raft ferry at Qandĩl in the north (Ainsworth 1841, 72), and another at Grd Māmāk in the central part of the valley (Perkins 1851, 107-109).

Route 2. From Erbil to Urartu While the texts mentioning the route leading from the south to the north as far as Azerbaijan come from the Assyrian and Islamic periods, the archaeological data indicate that this road may have been used as early as the Halaf culture, around 6100-5100 BC. Let us begin with the archaeological data and the decisive clue that is the distribution of sites with the southern variant of Uruk pottery occurring in the LC3-5 period (period 5). We found two such

The Greater Zab Valley

Historical sources and archaeology sites near the village of Grd Māmāk (US 120 and US 150, see below in this volume), another on the north bank of Bāstora Çāĩ, about 20 km east of the Zab (US 293), yet another on US 273, a prehistoric mound on a small plateau east of Şāx-ĩ Pĩrmām, and, finally, US 163, again on the left bank of the Greater Zab, at the mouth of the Rûbār-ĩ Koṟê. The location of the latter two sites seems to indicate the course of the route in the prehistoric period. In my opinion, the first part of the route led from the Erbil Plain toward the present-day village of Qala Mūrtak, lying on the southern bank of Bāstora Çāĩ, and continued north to the Dêrê Plain, in the centre of which US 273 is located. From there, it ran to the valley of Rûbār-ĩ Koṟê, and followed it downstream from the area of today Pānkān to its confluence with the Zab and the nearby settlement of US 163, the next stop on the route. While no southern Uruk pottery has been recorded at any of the UGZAR sites on the Harĩr Plain, it has been found further north, in the Dĩyān cave north-west of Raūandūz (Safar 1950, 121). It seems, therefore, that the trail did not end at the Zab, but rather continued for several kilometres upstream along the riverbank, then crossed the western part of Zūrg-ĩ Āmokān, and ran through the Spĩlĩk Pass (or rather the Gūḻak Gorge) to the valley of the Raūandūz stream and the Dĩyāna Plain. It cannot be ruled out that this route was in use earlier, from the Late Neolithic, around 6000 BC, because both US 273 and US 163 are known to have been inhabited since at least the Halaf period, and Hassuna and Ubaid pottery has also been found in the Dĩyān cave (Safar 1950, 120-121). Meanwhile, Halaf pottery has been recorded at the nearby Grd-ĩ Banahĩlk site (Braidwood, Howe 1960, 25, 33-35; Gómez Bach et al. 2019). The same route is mentioned in the written sources from the Neo-Assyrian period, during the reign of Sargon II (722-705 BC). In 714 BC, he embarked on a successful military expedition against the state of Urartu. Its final episode was the capture of the city of Muṣaṣir. On the way back, the Assyrian army crossed the Andarutta Mountains and reached the city of Ḫiptūna, from which it returned to Assyria (Frame 2021, 306; Sargon II, 65). Some years later, Urzana, a vassal ruler of the conquered Muṣaṣir, wishing to appear before Sargon II, used the same route. The letter K 1079 (= SAA V, 363) addressed to the king contains information about the stages of his journey. The last five are described as follows: “On the 10th day of Ala?mu, the 11th day of Ḫiptūnu, the 12th day of Muši, the 13th day of Anate/Issete, the 14th day of Erbil” (Koliński 2019, 316-317). Undoubtedly, Ḫiptūna and Ḫiptūnu are two variants of the name of the same place. Most Assyriologists believe this city lay on the Harĩr Plain (Radner 2006-2008, 46), basing this conviction on the similarity of the Assyrian name to the later Tell Ḫaftūn (Zadok 1978, 170), although Marf would rather locate it on the already-mentioned Dĩyāna Plain (Marf 2015, 134). In the late Middle Ages, the route is mentioned by Yākūt alHamawī in the Book of the Countries. Commenting on the geographical name of Tell Ḫaftūn, he writes that it is a city located on the road to Azerbaijan, two days’ journey from Erbil (al-Hamawī, II, 45). Elsewhere, he lists the following stations on this road: alDašt, or Dašt-ĩ Harĩr, as well as Ušnu, five days’ journey from Erbil, and Urmia, another two days. The location of the city of Tell Ḫaftūn is of key importance for the reconstruction of the route. Unfortunately, none of the localities in the UGZAR study area currently bear such a name, although Hoffman and Zadok, for example, write about it as a place that existed in their time. In this context, another similar geographical name should be brought to attention, namely Ḥew/ftōn, appearing in Syrian sources. This name refers to the diocese of Ḥewtôn and the Děbhar Ḥewtôn mountain range, where Qamjésus settled and founded a monastery 10 miles from Bēṯ Āwé (Jésusdenah 1806, 265, §89). Ḥewtōn is also the place from which limestone was obtained for the building of the church at the monastery of Bēṯ Āwé, according to Thomas of Margā (Wallis Budge 1897, II, xx). A similar name (Ḥibtūn) was given by al-Hamawī to a mountain located in the Mo-

sul province (al-Hamawī, II, 211). As mentioned above, this name is most likely related to Şāx-ĩ Bābacĩsk. An important clue as to the location of the city of Ḫiptūnu is provided by the Assyrian contract ND 2335. It concerns the purchase of grain in Ḫiptūnu and was drawn up at Kalḫu (Parker 1954, 44-45; Postgate 1976, no. 29, 135-137). The contract’s envelope mentions that the grain will be transported by kelek-rafts, and since the only potential waterway is the Greater Zab (see above), the city of Ḫiptūnu must have been located on its bank. Summing up the information from the Neo-Assyrian and medieval periods, I would like to propose a preliminary identification of the city of Ḫiptūnu with US 164. The arguments for this interpretation are as follows: – Its location on the Greater Zab made water transportation possible; – Its location on the prehistoric route described above is the reason why Sargon II mentions the city as a landmark on the route of the Assyrian army returning from Muṣaṣir and why later Urzana, the vassal ruler of this city, stops here on his way to the Assyrian court; – The Şāx-ĩ Bābacĩsk mountain range, at the foot of which it is located, was called Ḥewtōn in the Middle Ages, which was undoubtedly the Syriac version of the Assyrian name. Consequently, the second major Neo-Assyrian site on the Harĩr Plain, Grd-ĩ Tlê (US 184), some 16 km from US 164 as the crow flies, should be identified with the city of Ḫabruri, the capital of the province of the same name (Radner 2006-2008, 51). This would explain why al-Ḫamawī also mentions al-Dašt/Daštī Harīr as a stage on the route to Azerbaijan – it probably means that there was another urban centre in the area, almost a day’s journey away when one takes into account the terrain. How exactly did the trail between Ḫiptūnu and Erbil run? Urzana’s itinerary mentions two stops (in Muši and Anate/Issete), suggesting that this section of the route was divided into three stages. Unfortunately, the village of Muši does not appear in the sources again, and no site from this period has been identified between the Zab Valley and Qaḻā-ĩ Dêrê (US 273) on the Dêrê Plain. As for Anate/Issete, we know that there was a road connecting this town with the town of Kurba'il (Parpola 1970, 19), located on the western side of the Zab, probably on the Navkūr Plain (Reade 2016, 77, Fig. 19). It should therefore have been located in a place that provided easy travel conditions southward to Erbil and westward to Kurba'il. A location on the north bank of the Bāstora Çāĩ seems quite likely, maybe at US 302. It seems, therefore, that the north-south route, used from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, led from Erbil towards the Bāstora Çāĩ, crossed this stream and the Dêrê Plain to the north, and then used the valley of the Rûbār-ĩ Koṟê (called the Dêre Birūş Valley by 19th-century travellers – probably after site US 258, which still bears that name today). The road thus reached the Zab and followed its east bank to the Āmokān Plain and the mountain pass at the western end of the Harĩr Massif. The Rûbār-ĩ Koṟê Valley could equally well be used to travel upstream, in the direction of Şāqlaūa. By the end of the Middle Ages at the latest, the route was changed, no longer reaching the Zab Valley but turning eastward, either to the Dūĩn Pass guarded by the Qaḻa-ĩ Dūĩn fortress (US 231), or up Gal-ĩ Graū. Both roads led to a high pass in the Bābacĩsk mountain range, near a village of the same name, and, after crossing it, the trail ran on to the Āmokān Plain. From there, it was possible to head to the Spĩlĩk Pass and continue northward, or descend southward to the Harĩr Plain. The reason why this shortcut was preferred is not entirely clear: it is the shortest route, but requires crossing a high mountain pass. Perhaps the erosive activity of the Zab hindered the possibility of using the “old” trail running along its bed.

Historical sources and archaeology Route 3. The Royal Road One of the most famous communication routes of antiquity led through the area studied by the UGZAR project, described by Herodotus as the Royal Road, which connected Sardis in Lycia with Susa in Elam, and had a branch continuing to Persepolis (Herodotus, Histories, V, 52-53). If the Greek historian is to be believed, then the distance of about 2,500 km could be walked in 90 days, while horse couriers, thanks to the relay system, could cover it in 9 days. Of the part of the Royal Road running through Iraqi Kurdistan, Herodotus writes only that it crossed four rivers that could not be crossed by ferry: the Tigris, two rivers called Zabatus, and Gyndes. There is no doubt that this means the Greater Zab, the Lesser Zab and Diyala/Sirwan. In turn, the itinerary of Nehtihur (MacGinnis 2014, 37-38, 121), an Egyptian dignitary who travelled from Babylon to Elephantine in the late 5th century BC, partly along the Royal Road, mentions Erbil as one of the cities located on it. Finally, a similar route from Erbil to Ctesiphon is described centuries later on the Tabula Peutingeriana (Marciak et al., in press). It remains to be determined whether the Royal Road actually passed through the area we were investigating or perhaps south of it. The latter alternative, however, lacks support from sources since none of the itineraries mentions Kalḫu (under its Greek name – Larissa) or Nineveh (Reade 2015; Marciak et al., in press) as a stage. Moreover, arguments in favour of locating the battlefield of Gaugamela near Tell Gomel in the Navkūr Plain seem to prevail over the alternative proposal that the battle was fought on the Karamleis Plain, closer to the Tigris (Marciak et al. 2020; 2021). In these circumstances, it seems more likely that the Royal Road ran further north, across the Navkūr Plain, and the Zab crossing must have been located within the boundaries of the UGZAR project’s permit. Besides, in my opinion, this section of the trail already existed previously: in the Neo-Assyrian period, a road connecting Anate/Issete east of the Zab with Kurba'il west of this river is mentioned (see above). The next question concerns the nature of the crossing of the Zab. It cannot be deduced from Herodotus’ remark that it was not a ferry crossing, whether there was a ford or a bridge. It is important to mention here the seasonal changes in the water level of the Greater Zab, affecting the navigability and the possibility of crossing the fords. The high water level is related to the melting of snow in the mountains – the flow is then about 1,000 m3 per second and can reach up to 1,320 m3. It occurs from May to early July and allows loads to be floated down the river, but makes crossings very dangerous or impossible. The low water level, occurring from late July to November, is due to the lack of rainfall in north-eastern Iraq from May to October. During this time, water flow in the river drops to 200-300 m3 per second, and the Zab can be easily crossed in many places. Hence, it seems that in order to maintain the continuity of communication on the Royal Road, it was necessary to erect a bridge over the Greater Zab, as well as over the other rivers the trail crossed: Altyn Su Küprü, also known as Qantarat az-Zab, on the Lesser Zab or Qantarat al-Gomel on the Gomel River (Fiey 1965, 181, 183-185). However, this is not evident, as the first mention of a bridge on the Zab appears in the context of the Battle of Gaugamela, which took place in 331 BC. It comes from a text by Quintus Curtius Rufus, from the 1st century AD, and it can be inferred from it that the bridge over the Zab was built by Darius for the current needs of the army crossing (Rolfe 1971, 247; Curtius 4.9.9). After losing the battle, Darius fled before Alexander using this bridge, and both reached Arbela in this way (Marciak et al. 2020, 550). Were it so, one would expect the bridge to be a temporary structure, possibly made of elements easy to transport. More references to the bridge come from the early Middle Ages. The first is of an indirect nature, as it concerns not a bridge, but

a monastery called the Monastery of the Bridge because it was located in its vicinity (Wallis Budge 1902, II, 200). It was erected in the 6th century AD at the latest, since Mār Hnānia served as the prior of this monastery in 562 (Fiey 1965, 180). The second mention, from around the same time, concerns monks from this monastery who regaled R. Bar ‘Idtâ with an uplifting tale of the rescue of a Christian woman from the hands of the Persians. The pagans drowned in the river before they could cross the bridge on the Zab (Wallis Budge 1902, II, 280). The third reference is made by Thomas of Margā, who mentions that the noble Bastômag of Quplâna, father of Catholicos Īsô'yaw III (in the years 644-658), while visiting Raban Ya'qūb, founder and prior of the Bēṯ 'Āwé monastery, crossed the Zab over a bridge in the vicinity of Esṭwān village, falling victim to a charm cast by witches washing their robes on the riverbank. The monastery of Bēṯ 'Āwé was founded in 595, so Bastômag’s visit must have taken place in the first decades of the 7th century AD. The final mention is Histoire de Mâr Sawrīsô' de B. Qôqâ, which reports that the monks who lived next to the bridge on the Greater Zab brought a sick man to Hnanisô, acting as prior of Bēth Qoq’ monastery in the years 663-675 (Mingana 1907, 242). Finally, Thomas of Margā, writing around 840, states that the bridge was already in ruins in his time (Wallis Budge 1897, I, xli, II, 84). Unfortunately, there is no independent evidence confirming the location of the Monastery of the Bridge – it is usually situated by researchers on the left bank of the Greater Zab, close to the place where Thomas of Margā locates the bridge (for instance, Nováček, Wood 2020, Fig. 1). Thomas of Margā’s account may suggest that there was not only a bridge near the village of Esṭwān (Wallis Budge 1897, II, 84), but also a ford; in another passage, he uses the ambiguous word “crossing” in the context of Esṭwān (Wallis Budge 1897, II, 439). Fiey places this ford (and village) on his map in a place where a stream flowing from the Qaḻa-ĩ Dêr basin joins the Zab (Fiey 1965, 224). Indeed, a British map of the area drawn before 1927 shows a ford at this location, but it is not a ford on the Zab itself, only on the stream. Moreover, in the place where Fiey locates Esṭwān, the hills descend steeply towards the Zab, and it would be impossible to build a settlement here! In any case, we have not found any traces of settlement in this area. Why do I link the existence of the Royal Bridge to the ford? Well, I believe that they were indeed adjacent to each other. The ford functioned since prehistoric times, then simultaneously with the bridge, and also after the latter had fallen into disrepair. My arguments for the location of the bridge are twofold: the first relates to the topography, and the second is based on observations of settlement dynamics in the region. First, however, I would like to address the claim that the Royal Bridge was erected in Grd Māmāk, and that its remains are still visible (Fiey 1965, 183; discussed by Marciak et al. 2020, 550-551). Herzfeld, to whom Fiey attributes this information, seems never to have visited the place himself. On the contrary, he merely mentioned that the road described on the Tabula Peutingeriana crossed the Zab at Grd Māmāk (Sarre, Herzfeld 1920, 328). Despite Fiey’s assertions, no remains that could have been part of such a structure have been found by the UGZAR team on either the right or the left bank of the river. An inspection of the Zab in the area revealed the presence of natural rock on the east bank and in the riverbed (see below, photo on p. 532), which could not have been part of the bridge, but might have been interpreted as such by an inexperienced observer. It seems that Fiey never visited the place in person, and it is not the first time that he used second-hand information and failed to verify the situation in the field (cf. the case of Bēṯ 'Āwé: Fiey 1965, 269). The Royal Road in the area in question runs from Erbil to the Navkūr Plain, so the section where a bridge could be erected is limited from the south by the town of Dālarê and from the north by Çeme. To build a bridge, two conditions must be met: firstly, both banks of the

Historical sources and archaeology river cannot be too high, and secondly, the area adjacent to the abutments of the bridge must be relatively easily accessible. Only one site located on this stretch of the Zab meets both of these conditions: the banks south of Gobāḻ-Çeme. On the left bank, one must cross a range of low hills, while, on the right bank, a flat corridor 2 to 5 km wide opens up, being, in fact, an extension of the Navkūr Plain. Two other possibilities remain: Kvrsor-Xārūk and the area south of Dālarê, but neither meet the aformentioned conditions. In the case of Kvrsor-Xārūk, access to a potential crossing on the left bank is easy, while, on the right bank, one must climb the high escarpment of the Zab’s highest terrace and then descend again to the Navkūr Plain. In the vicinity of Dālarê, access to the left bank is once again very easy, while, in the case of the right bank, as before, one must climb up to the tread of the upper terrace and descend to the Navkūr Plain. The advantage of this last site is that on the way to the Zab crossing, one does not have to cross the valley of the Bāstora Çāĩ, a wide periodic stream that can be an obstacle to travellers, especially in the spring. The second group of arguments relates to the settlements in the vicinity of the locations considered above. I assume that at such an important place as a river crossing, there was a settlement, which, on the one hand, provided a resting place for travellers and, on the other hand, made it possible to control traffic on the trail. In the Gobāḻ-Çeme area, this role must have been fulfilled by site US 071. This is suggested by its size (maximum 10 ha, including the lower town) and very long history of settlement (from Late Neolithic – period 2 to Early Islamic – period 17). It should also be added that the area to the north of the site offers poorer agricultural conditions than maps or satellite imagery would suggest. North of it, pebbles from the eroding slopes of Şāx-ĩ Sart form alluvial fans covering part of the plain. In this situation, a location ensuring control and profit from the river crossing would compensate for the potential lack of access to farmland. I am inclined to identify it as Esṭwān, a village located by the bridge and ford, known in the times of Thomas of Margā. I am very grateful to Alexander Edmonds, who turned my attention to the fact that Syriac word 'esṭwān means "pillar", "column" and is probably adapted from an Iranian language, being originally a loanword from the Greek word "stoa" (cf. Syriac 'esṭwā). This name may suggest the presence of some particular structure nearby, perhaps resembling columns/pillars, or even a portico. Could this be a reference to a bridge supported by arches? Taking into account historical sources and archaeological data, I believe that the banks of the Greater Zab above the mouth of the Kārbk stream were the best locations for the construction of the bridge. The choice of this particular area of the valley for the erection of the modern bridge built in 2015, which facilitated communication between the Erbil Plain and the Navkūr Plain, was dictated by the same topographic conditions determining the construction of a bridge at this location in the past. This conclusion is close to the opinion of Polish historian Dr Michał Marciak, who has studied the circumstances of the Battle of Gaugamela. Having conducted a reconnaissance of the area, he believes that the vicinity of Çeme is most suitable for the location of the ford, and possibly the bridge, and rules out the existence of a bridge at Grd Māmāk (Marciak et al. 2020, 550-551). I also believe that a ford must have existed here as early as the prehistoric period, and that the bridge was not built until Persian times, possibly as part of the Royal Road. It was also convenient from a strategic point of view since the presence of a ford facilitated the army’s crossing: carts could be driven over the bridge, and infantry and cavalry could use a ford, especially when the water was low. Perhaps it was also advantageous for the expansive Sassanid rulers of Mesopotamia and Persia, who maintained the bridge, and that is why it still existed in the 6th-7th century AD.

The Altyn Su Küprü bridge on the Lesser Zab was repaired many times in the following centuries as well (Fiey 1965, 184). The bridge on the Greater Zab had already fallen into disrepair by the beginning of the 9th century AD, which was due to neglect, rather than careless workmanship.

Conclusions The part of the Greater Zab Valley discussed here is divided into two zones of a different character. Below Dālarê, looking from the south, the valley is open, which provides good conditions for agriculture and settlement, and the absence of natural obstacles on its banks facilitates travel. The agricultural potential of this part of the valley was most intensively exploited in the Neo-Assyrian period and later in the Late Sasanian period. Above Dālarê, the valley becomes narrower and deeper, and the river meanders among cliffs that reach up to 70 m in height, alternately on its left and right banks. Such a terrain makes cultivation and communication difficult. Apart from two sites with a long settlement history (US 071 and US 163), late-period settlements dominate in this part of the valley, their existence ensured by a modest acreage. Therefore, this section of the trade route leading to Azerbaijan which had existed since the Neolithic period ran through the mountain valleys to the east of the Zab, and descended into its valley only for a few kilometres between sites US 163 and US 164 (Assyrian Ḫiptūnu, later Ḫewton). The medieval variant of the route bypassed the river valley altogether. Interregional communication between the plains of Erbil and Navkūr, as well as areas further west as far as the Tigris Valley, was provided by a route that dating back to the 5th millennium BC, but became renowned in the Persian period when it formed an integral part of the Royal Road. The key element in the area studied by the UGZAR project was the location of the crossing on the Zab. In my opinion, it was located south of the village of Çeme. The large site US 071, which lies on the west bank, and was inhabited continuously for almost 7,000 years, owed its existence to the vicinity of a ford facilitating travel west from the Zab Valley. Darius III crossed the Zab here on a bridge while marching to the battlefield at Gaugamela, and once more when fleeing to Erbil. Sources claim that he built it for that explicit purpose; certainly a permanent bridge existed there in the Early Middle Ages, at least until the 7th century. It is no coincidence that the new bridge built over the Zab in 2015 uses the same location.

Introduction “The Iraqi Atlas” is the working name of a two-volume publication by Salman. We never went into the field without it. Although overladen with equipment like aliens, we always carried a couple of pages in our pockets. These seemed almost nonchalant, as if the drawings and notes were made by hand – so different from today’s brilliant maps generated by modern software using satellite and spy images. Pages from the Atlas were our best allies during interviews. Filled with surprising, if often unclear content, they inspired us and our informers, refreshed memory, and facilitated understanding. They were our anchor in the Iraqi reality and the guide and compass for this project. We owe all this to the long-standing work of our Iraqi colleagues who began to create file cards for the archaeological sites located in Iraq in the mid-1930s. They used information obtained during excavations, surveys, and from local inhabitants. This activity lasted until the 1970s, and probably continued thereafter. Fortunately, the results of the decades-long research were published in 1970 under the name of the then Director-General of Antiquities of Iraq, Dr Isa Salman. The small volume, entitled Archaeological Sites in Iraq (ASI), contained a list of archaeological sites, architectural monuments, and caves recorded during the preceding 30 years. They were arranged geographically by provinces, districts, and municipalities (muhafazah, qazah, nahia). Descriptions of sites included the number of the file card, the name of the neighbouring village, and often also the settlement period. In 1976, this catalogue was supplemented by a second volume, Atlas of Archaeological Sites in Iraq (AASI), which contained maps showing the location of the sites. The publication of these books, presenting the rich cultural heritage of Iraq, was a leading activity in the field of archaeological heritage management and, as far as the editors are aware, the first such project in the Near East. Despite the obvious advantages, working with the Atlas was difficult. Although in the file cards or during interviews not only locations of the sites but also their local names were recorded, the identifications sometimes refer to villages which no longer exist. Moreover, the names are doubtful as they often show traces of Aramaic, Kurdish, Farsi, or Turkish languages and are not always correctly written in the standard Arabic alphabet. Besides, the maps published in the AASI look incorrect because each has a different scale. This is due to the fact that draughtsmen had to fit them to the format of the book, and scaled them depending on the place and the size of the area. However, if we look closely at these maps and georeference them, then we will see that they were a precise tool for their time, created on the basis of measurements, detailed topographical maps, and air photographs, and indeed, until recently, the most precise examples of such available in Mesopotamian archaeology! A final problem, however, is the fact that not all sites listed in the ASI appear on the maps in the AASI, and not all sites shown on the maps are mentioned in the ASI (perhaps having been recorded between 1970 and 1975?). This Iraqi publication is not well known because the language renders comprehension difficult. Having to decipher the handwritten Arabic characters on the maps is also dispiriting. However, when one makes an effort to understand it, it turns out to be handy and relevant. The maps and catalogue created by Iraqi archaeologists have accompanied us through the years, helping us to locate ancient sites and monuments,

and it is enough to master the 30 letters of the Arabic and Kurdish alphabet to gain an understanding! Without the Atlas, our work might have been less tiring, we might not have been stressed by the Kurdish names, but by not mentioning our ally we would deny the comradeship linking all of us who work to preserve the cultural heritage of the Near East. This is why we have made an attempt to present the possibilities of this tool – the Atlas. . Consequently, we combined 11 maps published in the AASI which encompass the area of the UGZAR project (Plates 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 47, 51, 52, 128, 130). Each of these presents the richness of cultural heritage in the given qazah or nahia, and includes a list of sites. Every list begins with number 1; so, on our copy, the range of each map and the numbers of sites shown on it were marked in different colours. The combined map was then adjusted for print, i.e. scaled down and unified. It forced us to change the size of the markings indicating sites and villages which otherwise would have been illegible. The scaling and the disproportionate size of the site markings make it impossible to georeference the map due to the large margin of error. The combined map shows the distribution of sites from the AASI not only in the UGZAR region, but also in the areas investigated by other projects: LoNAP, EPAS, KAS, and Khalifan Archaeological Project. It gives thus an idea of the wider archaeological context of the finds, and displays the few areas where cultural heritage objects were catalogued but for some reason (lack of access?) not marked on the map. The maps are accompanied by tables. They consist of two main columns, and the colours of their headings refer to the colours of the respective plates. In the AASI and ASI volumes, data was organised according to administrative units. In the UGZAR volumes, the first column of the table contains the number of the site as shown on the map, and the second the identification of the site in the ASI catalogue. This cross-referencing was necessary because the lists in the ASI and AASI were never compatible. The present volume includes descriptions of 60 sites located in the Greater Zab Valley, 37 on the right bank of the river and the remaining 23 on the left. The identification of these sites with sites listed in the ASI and AASI is hindered by the fact that the latter does not contain a map of the right bank north of Kêle Bsmĩrān, whereupon US 107 – US 112 are located. Therefore, they do not appear either in the AASI or the ASI. The downriver part of the right bank is shown on Map 51, but no sites are marked there. Consequently, all 37 sites on the western bank are new identifications. The left bank of the river is covered by Map 7; it evidences six sites in this area, all of which were identified in the field. The remaining 17 sites documented on this bank are new discoveries. As in the former volumes, the identified sites are shown as red triangles on the map on p. 54, and listed on p. 55. Additionally, all the relevant rows in the table referring to map 7 on pages 60-61 are shaded in grey. The names of sites and villages are given in the original spelling of the Iraqi publications; thus, they should be treated as a copy of the source material. Many contain errors. Some of these errors result from the fact that Kurdish sounds were represented in Arabic script without the additional characters used nowadays for writing in Farsi and Kurdish. In some cases, an unintelligible name was obviously distorted. Comments on, corrections, and interpretations of names and errors in their notation will be discussed in a separate article in the first volume of the present publication.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. In the Āstrĩān village, on a promontory of conglomerate riverine terrace south of a confluence of a seasonal stream to the Greater Zab river. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site has the form of small mound, several metres high. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. A mosque with a garden, and a lavatory were constructed on the top of the tell. The western and northern slopes are damaged by other structures, and by a road leading to the mosque. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A single Middle Assyrian sherd points to the presence of a settlement of this period, but neither its size nor function can be determined on this basis. The site is badly disturbed, and visibility largely obscured by structures. Most of collected pottery is very late (Period 20), and demonstrates protracted use of the area by modern settlement (the village is already mentioned by early 20th century British travellers and military as the location of a potential ford of the Greater Zab).

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. The site is located on the middle Greater Zab terrace, south-west of the confluence of the river and Şĩv-ĩ Zntā, 200 m southwest of Zêrāv village. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. Most of the site is flat, but three low elevations are present in its eastern part, along the edge of the Zab terrace. Another elevation rises across an erosion gully, several metres deep at its north-eastern end. A small part of the site encroaches upon the remnant of a lower terrace extending along Şĩv-ĩ Zntā. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.345 ha, B – 0.114 ha, C – 0.392 ha, D – 0.455 ha, amounting to 9% of the site area. Area A is located in the south-western part of the site, close to the border of the Zab terrace, on the western slope of a low hill. Area B is located on a flat area limited by the Şĩv-ĩ Lālaĩê valley and in a small gorge separating the northern and the central part of the site, limited by the Zêrāv–Gaūĩlān tarmac road and the football pitch. Area C is located in the south-eastern part of the site, on the middle Şĩv-ĩ Lālaĩê terrace, and Area D in a neighbouring area on the upper terrace. DAMAGES. Most of the site is under cultivation. Two water holes are present, one in the centre, and the other on the southern perimeter of the site. The north-western part of the site is damaged by the Zêrāv– Gaūĩlān tarmac road, a football pitch, and two houses. The area north of the road was used for dumping earth. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. The earliest occupation of the site, Late Chalcolithic 1-2 in date, was restricted to the area adjacent to the junction of Şĩv-ĩ Zntā and the Greater Zab valley, and probably represented a small, isolated village. Similar in size and location was a settlement established towards the end of the 3rd millennium BC, continuing through the Middle Bronze Age. During the Mitanni period, the site grew significantly to reach its maximum area of about 15 hectares, including the narrow, lower terrace of the Şĩv-ĩ Zntā valley.

The Greater Zab Valley

102

US 110 DESCRIPTION cont. The settlement, which must have been a small township, maintained its size in the Middle and Neo-Assyrian periods. Later, the site shrank to about one-third of the original area, and extended mainly along the edge of the Zab terrace, but the settlement continued without significant interruptions until the Early Islamic times. Numerous fragments of burned bricks are present on the surface, especially in Areas A and C. They represent two varieties: a thin type, c. 7-8 cm in thickness, and a thick one, c. 12-14 cm in thickness, dating to the Hellenistic period. The role of this site is difficult to reconstruct. It is an isolated settlement, but its size, especially during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, suggests that it was a place of some importance. It probably controlled the agricultural plain opening on both banks of Şĩv-ĩ Zntā. However, the area was probably hard to reach from the Navkūr Plain. Travelling along the Greater Zab was very difficult, so communication was likely ensured by a track running across the northern slopes of Şāx-ĩ Sart in the area of the modern village of Sardrĩān.

NEIGHBOURING VILLAGE

Sūrkan

IDENTIFICATION car survey

LOCATION. The site is located on the middle river terrace formed of sandstone rock, some 2.3 km south-west of the Sūrkan village. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site extends some 100 m along the rocky cliff forming the face of the terrace, occupying a low elevation. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. The site was founded in Period 9, probably as a small rural settlement using the agricultural potential of the terrain located on the terrace. After a period of abandonment, the site was occupied again in the Hellenistic period. A single sherd belonging to Period 16 may also suggest some activities at the site in the Late Sasanian period.

NEIGHBOURING VILLAGE

Kêle Şêx Bzn

IDENTIFICATION car survey 7 October 2015

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the peninsula of the middle Zab terrace, c. 1.7 km south-east of the Kêle Şêx Bzn village. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site occupies an area limited by a deep seasonal stream valley to the east and a shallower one to the west. Two low elevations are present in the northern and southern parts of the site. Dirt roads run along the eastern and western perimeter of the site, and across its middle. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The entire site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A rural site dating to the Sasanian and Late Sasanian times. A few concentrations of large pottery sherds may indicate places where eroding vessels still in situ are present just below the modern surface. A few glass fragments and burned bricks are present on the surface. The site is contemporary to another Sasanian/Late Sasanian village at US 114, located c. 1.25 km to the west, across the valley of a large seasonal stream.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, overlooking the river, c. 0.95 km south-east-south of the Kêle Şêx Bzn village. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site occupies the gently undulating area of a relatively narrow peninsula of the highest riverine terrace. A dense sherd scatter is present along the border of the eastern seasonal stream, and along the riverine end of the terrace. The scatter thins out towards west and north; no sherds are present on the narrow middle terrace of the Greater Zab. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 1.849 ha, B – 1.263 ha, amounting to 61% of the site area. Area A is located in the southern part of the site, in an area adjacent to the river valley. Area B is located on a small elevation in the northern part of the site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation (fields and gardens). Some irrigation installations are present in the south-eastern part of the site. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A few sherds indicate the presence of a limited settlement during Period 7, and, probably, activities at the site during Middle Assyrian period, though most typical Period 10 pottery forms are missing. A much larger, rural settlement existed at the site during the Sasanian and Late Sasanian period, continuing probably into early Islamic times. Another site of this period in the same micro-region, US 113, is located 1200 m eastwards, demonstrating a substantial increase in settlement density during the 1st millennium AD. The site is contemporary to another Sasanian/Late Sasanian village at US 113, located c. 1.25 km to the east, across the valley of a large seasonal stream.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, at the confluence of a small seasonal stream and the river, c. 280 m east of Xārūk. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site consists of two low hills, one adjacent to the edge of the terrace, and the other in the north-eastern part of the site occupied by a cemetery, as well as flat areas towards the west and north; the latter has yielded very worn sherds. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.087 ha, B – 0.157 ha, C – 0.354 ha, amounting to 76% of the site area. Area A covers a low hill constituting the core of the site, Area B is located in a flat area to the west of it, and Area C lies north of the hill and west of a small fenced cemetery. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. A small cemetery is located in its north-eastern corner, and a water channel runs along the western and northern perimeter of the mounded part of the site. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small prehistoric settlement featuring LC1-2 and Ninevite 5 sherds. The site was reoccupied during the LBA (Periods 9-10), and then abandoned. The only site in the Xārūk region with prehistoric and Bronze Age settlement.

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

Koliński, R., An Archaeological Reconnaissance in the Greater Zab Area of the Iraqi Kurdistan (UGZAR) 2012-2015, In: Horejs B., Ch. Schwall, V., Müller, M. Luciani, M. Ritter, M. Guidetti, R.B. Salisbury, F. Höflmayer, T. Bürge, eds., Proceedings of the 10th ICAANE, April 25th29th, Vienna, Harrassowitz 2018. Vol. 2, p. 17. Ławecka, D., Newcomers and autochthons. Preliminary report on the 2014–2015 survey in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, Iraq. Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean 25, pp. 511-519.

LOCATION. On the upper Zab terrace, 2.6 km west of Xārūk and c. 2.5 km north of Dālarê. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site occupies a narrow ridge sloping towards the river, limited by deep ravines on the north and south. However, a narrow but gentle path allows one easily to reach the riverbed below. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.132 ha, B – 0.279 ha, amounting to 88% of the site area. Area A is located on the southern slope of the site, and Area B on the ridge descending towards the river. Several sherds collected from the whole site in 2016 were labelled as coming from Area C. DAMAGES. The site is prone to rain and wind erosion. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small site occupied exclusively during the LC3-5 period, featuring both northern and southern pottery forms as well as numerous clay cones. Its location on the high right bank of the Greater Zab just 1.25 km west of US 150, which lies on the left bank and represents only southern variants of LC3-5 pottery, suggests that both sites were closely related, with US 120 likely serving as a contact point with contemporary communities of northern LC3-5 culture. It should be stressed that southern pottery is extremely rare on other sites of this period located west of the Greater Zab (Ławecka 2016, 514-518).

LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, between Dālarê and a large seasonal stream limiting it on the south, c. 100 m south of the village. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site is mostly flat, but features two elevations: a lower one, possibly natural, in the south, and a higher one in the north. The latter is entirely occupied by a modern cemetery. According to the villagers, a complete pot, now lost, was found when digging a grave there. A large concentration of small pottery sherds was observed to the south and east of the cemetery. The eroded terrace face displays the presence of a cultural layer, approximately 1 m thick. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.34 ha, B – 0.184 ha, C – 0.376 ha, D – 0.096 ha, amounting to 24% of the site area. Area A is located on the southernmost part of the site, south of a modern irrigation structure; Area B lies to the north of it along the western limit of the site. Areas C and D are located in the northern part of the site, on the northern and southern sides of a low hill entirely covered by a modern cemetery. DAMAGES. The mounded part of the site is covered by a modern cemetery. The remaining part is under cultivation. A water channel runs along the southern perimeter of the cemetery mound. A similar installation is present in the southern part of the site. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. The site was occupied during the Mitanni period and the Early Iron age. Period 9 sherds were found at various sectors of the site, but their density is low. It is worth mentioning that another intensively occupied site from this period is US 147, lying across the Greater Zab. The site was re-settled in the Neo-Assyrian period, and it seems that the village occupied mainly the southern part of the site, where most of the sherds assigned to this period (as well as a single Post-Assyrian sherd) were found. The settlement grew to encompass the site’s full extent again in the Hellenistic and Parthian eras, possibly because it controlled a river crossing, connected with the area immediately south of the confluence of the Bāstora Çāĩ and the Greater Zab. 11

NEIGHBOURING VILLAGE

Dālarê

IDENTIFICATION car survey

LOCATION. Close to the edge of the middle Zab terrace, c. 900 m south-south-east of Dālarê. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A flat site featuring a sparse sherd scatter, slightly denser along the terrace edge. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. A water hole was excavated in the eastern part of the site, at the border of the terrace, and a concrete pool was built in its western part. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small village occupied from the Neo-Assyrian through to Parthian periods, most likely dependent on the larger settlement at US 121, located just 350 m to the north. The site was re-settled in the Late Sasanian period, and a single Late Ottoman sherd confirms some later activity at the site.

IDENTIFICATION car survey 27 September 2015

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

Koliński, R., Upper Greater Zab Archaeological Reconnaissance Pro ject. Report on the Field Activities in the Province of Duhok for the 2015 Season p. 9.

LOCATION. On the edge of the middle Zab terrace, south of a shallow stream valley, c. 2.83 km south of Dālarê and 3.1 km north-east of Banênān. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. An extensive site with a concentration of archaeological material on a low accumulation located in its southern part. Numerous sherds, brick fragments, ground stone tools, and pottery slag present there suggest that this part of the site had eroded rapidly. The northern part of the site (Area C) yielded significantly later (Period 11) material. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.234 ha, B – 0.596 ha, C – 0.064 ha, amounting to 31% of the site area. Area A is located in the southern part of the site, Area B is adjacent to the former on the north, and Area C is located in the northern part of the site, extending along the terrace’s border. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation; an irrigation channel runs in the central part, providing water to the vegetable plantation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A large village from the Bronze age. A single Bevelled Rim Bowl sherd indicates that some activity took place at the site during the LC3-5 period, although it is not confirmed by other finds. The southern and the central parts of the site were occupied during the Ninevite 5 period and, even more intensively, during the middle and late 3rd millennium BC (Period 7). No other Ninevite 5 site was identified in the vicinity (cf. US 129), but another Period 7 settlement is present at US 131, just 500 m downstream. The northernmost part of the site yielded exclusively Neo-Assyrian sherds, and it should be considered as a separate small site from this period, probably a farm. Slightly larger settlements from the same period were identified at US 122 and US 123, c. 1.4 km upstream.

IDENTIFICATION car survey, interview 8 October 2015

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the edge of the middle Zab terrace, c. 3 km south of Dālarê and 2.5 km north-east of Banênān. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A sherd scatter is present on a conglomerate peninsula formed by the edge of the Zab terrace and a seasonal stream valley. It is located close to the south-western limit of US 128 but has yielded significantly later pottery material, so it must have constituted a different site. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. Tracing the history of this site is difficult. Two Ninevite 5 sherds may be stray finds from US 128, located just 50 m away. Similarly, one Period 7 and one Period 8 sherd may come from US 131, located to the south, on the other side of a relatively wide stream valley. Scarce traces of activity during the Hellenistic-Parthian and Late Sasanian periods were also discovered.

LOCATION. On the edge of the middle Zab terrace, south of a medium-sized stream valley, c. 3.15 km south of Dālarê and 2.26 km north-east of Banênān. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The original form of the site is difficult to reconstruct because it has been heavily transformed by recent construction activities. It was probably a low mound located on a peninsula of the Zab terrace forming a conglomerate rock cliff, limited by a large seasonal stream joining just north of the site, and forming a relatively wide valley with a gentle southern slope. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.112 ha, B – undetermined. Area A is located on the southern part of the terrace’s slope, below the site, while Area B is located around the two uppermost fishponds which have been dug into the flat top of the site, resulting in large amounts of sherds being visible on the surface. DAMAGES. The site is nearly entirely destroyed by three large fishponds constructed within its area. Two of them occupy the highest part of the site, while the eastern one seems to be located on a lower terrace. Two accommodation containers were situated between the ponds and the edge of the river valley, and the area between them was covered with concrete. Between 2015 and 2017, a two-storey house was built in the eastern corner of the site. The eastern slope of the terrace is very steep and prone to erosion. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. An important settlement from the late 3rd and the 2nd millennium BC. The other 3rd-millennium site in the area is US 128, located just 500 m upstream. Middle Bronzeage settlement in this part of the valley is also sparse, the only other sites being US 134 and US 137, located c. 3.25 km and c. 5 km downstream respectively. Late Bronze age sites occur more frequently: Mitanni sherds were identified at US 121, c. 2.9 km downstream, and at US 138 and US 140, located c. 6 km and c. 8 km downstream respectively; US 138 yielded some Middle Assyrian sherds as well.

IDENTIFICATION car survey 3 October 2015

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the peninsula of the middle Zab terrace, north and east of a seasonal stream valley, c. 750 m north-north-east of Banênān. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A sherd scatter covering the flat top of a peninsula formed by the Zab terrace and a deeply incised seasonal stream valley. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small hamlet or farmstead from the Neo-Assyrian period, similar to US 122, US 123, US 128 and US 130 located upstream. Larger sites of the same date include US 130, c. 0.75 km upstream, and US 134, c. 2 km downstream. The site was resettled in the Hellenistic period and remained in use to a limited extent in the Parthian period. The settlement sequence at US 132 thus mirrors the situation on US 121, US 122 upstream, and US 137 and US 138 downstream.

IDENTIFICATION interview 10 September 2015

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

Mardas, J., Iraqi Kurdistan’s heritage in the face of regional development: state of preservation of archaeological sites and damage assessment – a provisional report. Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean 26/1, pp. 815, 818.

LOCATION. On a high conglomerate cliff overlooking the Greater Zab riverbed, in the eastern part of Banênān village. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. Most probably a mounded site on the top of a high conglomerate cliff covered with a c. 3-m-thick soil deposit composed mainly of cultural layers. The site is almost completely overbuilt with the houses of Bānanān village; therefore, while it was possible to verify its existence in areas adjacent to the cliff, its width remains unknown. AREAS COLLECTED. A – undetermined, B – 0.160 ha, C – 0.042 ha, amounting to 12% of the reconstructed site area. Area A is located on the riverbank, under the cliff where the site lies. Area B is located in a small open area on the border of the terrace, in the southern part of the village, while Area C covers the central part of the site, in the garden of the moxtar’s house, close to the edge of the terrace. DAMAGES. The site is nearly completely overbuilt with houses of the Banênān village. The eastern part of the site, overlooking a conglomerate cliff over the Zab riverbed, is heavily eroded. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. The history and importance of this site are very difficult to reconstruct because it is completely covered by a large modern settlement. Some of the sherds collected suggest a Middle Bronze age, Mitanni, and Neo-Assyrian-period occupation, but this list may not be complete due to problems with collecting characteristic sherds. The settlement during the periods mentioned was probably a village of large or moderate size.

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

Koliński, R., Upper Greater Zab Archaeological Reconnaissance Project. Report on the Field Activities in the Province of Duhok for the 2015 Season., p. 9.

LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, extending to the terrace edge, 1.4 km south-west of Banênān and 500 m north-east of Xandak. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A flat site extending from the edge of the terrace towards the west and covering the eastern slope of a hill, located c. 200 m from the edge of the terrace. Some sherds were found on the lower terrace, at the base of the slope, which is c. 3 m high in this place. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 1.303 ha, B – 0.265 ha, C – 0.113 ha, amounting to 65% of the site area. Area A is located on the south-eastern slope of a natural accumulation at the north-western limit of the site, Area B lies on the lower terrace under a ca. 3-m-high escarpment, and Area C covers a freshly ploughed field in the eastern corner of the site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A few Mitanni sherds found in Area C suggest the presence of a small site, possibly a farm or a hamlet, during this period. Two more important settlements from this period were identified at US 134, c. 1.9 km upstream, and at US 141, c. 3.75 km downstream. During the Neo-Assyrian, Hellenistic and Parthian periods, the site was a village, similar in size and cultural sequence to sites US 121 and US 122 located upstream, and site US 138 located c. 1.6 km downstream.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. On the edge of the middle Zab terrace, c. 600 m south of Xandak. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A flat site adjacent to the edge of the Greater Zab terrace. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The site is under garden-type cultivation. Remains of a water channel running perpendicular to the river are present in its southern part. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small site displaying traces of multiperiod settlement, despite the low density of sherds. The earliest occupation dates to the Ninevite 5 period, relatively rare in this part of the Greater Zab valley (cf. US 128, c. 7 km upstream), but some sites from this period are present at a distance from the river, e.g. US 083 and US 084, c. 5 and 9 km towards the west respectively (cf. Koliński 2020b, 194-257). The site was more extensively used during the Late Bronze age, when it occupied a position mid-way between US 134 upstream and US 141 downstream. The sequence of Neo-Assyrian settlement, subsequently reoccupied in Hellenistic-Parthian times, resembles the pattern observed already on US 137, 1.6 km upstream. The site became active again in the Late Sasanian-Early Islamic period, and some activity also occurred there in the Ottoman era.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. On the edge of the middle Zab terrace, c. 2.23 km southwest of Xandak. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A low (3 m high) hill located in the north-western part of the site is occupied by a cemetery. The sherd scatter is dense between the mound and the edge of the terrace, moderate in the central part of the site and sparse in its southern part. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.357 ha, amounting to 21% of the site area. It is located in an area covered with a dense sherd scatter, to the east of a modern cemetery in the northern part of the site. DAMAGES. The central, slightly elevated part of the site is covered by a cemetery. The remaining area is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small, rural site occupied during the Mitanni and Middle- and Neo-Assyrian periods. Late Bronzeage settlement is represented on two nearby sites: US 138, located c. 1.7 km upstream, and US 141, located just 600 m downstream. It seems quite likely that US 140 may have been dependent on the latter site, located on a hill in an area which could hardly be used for agriculture.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. On the peninsula of the eroded upper terrace of the Greater Zab, c. 2.5 km south-west of Xandak and 1 km east-north-east of Hancĩrūk Nūê. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site overlooks the Zab River, and is located on the top of a ridge formed by two deeply incised seasonal streams, one on the east, the other on the west, and a very steep slope descending to the riverbed. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.083 ha, B – 0.158 ha, C – 0.130 ha, amounting to 25% of the site area. Area A is located in the central part of the site, covering an area enclosed by a rectangular earthen rampart, while Area B and Area C are located in the southern and northern parts of the site, respectively. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. An unfinished earthen rampart is present in the central, most elevated part of the site. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A site that has yielded an extremely rich collection of Middle and Late Bronze-age pottery. Its location on a hill, a remnant of a much-eroded upper terrace of the Zab, at some distance from good agricultural land, suggests that the site was a low-ranking administrative centre, or had some military significance; thanks to its elevated position, it provides a good view of the Zab Valley to the north-east and across the river.

IDENTIFICATION transect 9 September 2015

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the peninsula of the eroded upper terrace of the Greater Zab, c. 0.9 km east-north-east of Hancĩrūk Nūê. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A small flat site on a peninsula formed by a deeply incised seasonal stream valley and the Zab River, on the remnant of the upper terrace. AREAS COLLECTED. A – whole site. DAMAGES. The site is damaged by looting pits present in its central and northern parts. Two circular wells, not fully filled with soil, were observed in the north and the south, along the edge of the Zab terrace. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A very small site demonstrating occupation starting in the Sasanian period and continuing into Middle and Late Islamic times (Period 19). The lack of sherds assigned to Period 18 may be accidental. One of the very few sites located on the western bank of the Greater Zab where the occupation lasted from the Sasanian to the Late Islamic period.

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

Koliński, R., Upper Greater Zab Archaeological Reconnaissance Project. Report on the Field Activities of the Upper Greater Zab Archaeological Project for the 2014 season, pp. 9-10.

LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, west of a seasonal stream, at the western limit of Hancĩrūk Nūê. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site is composed of a small mound (c. 30 m in diameter and 5 m high), located on the eastern bank of a seasonal stream, and a flat area extending for c. 150-200 m over the Zab terrace towards the north, east, and, to some extent, south. The sherd scatter is dense on and around the mound and more moderate in the other areas. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.094 ha, B – 0.139 ha, C – 0.119 ha, amounting to 16% of the site area. Area A covers a small mound in the western part of the site, next to a stream, Area B is located on a flat area immediately east of Area A, and Area C lies between the houses in the south-eastern part of the site. DAMAGES. The mound shows traces of a few round pits and is not cultivated. The flat part of the site is under cultivation, except for its north-eastern and eastern parts, whereat several houses of the village of Hancĩrūk Nūê are standing. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small Mitanni-period site, probably a hamlet, re-occupied and expanded in the Neo-Assyrian period, also existing in Hellenistic and Parthian times. Other sites with Period 9 occupation include US 141, located 2.25 km to the west, and US 084, c. 3.75 km up the seasonal stream on which US 143 is located. The Iron Age occupational sequence resembles the pattern observed already at other Zab sites, namely US 121, US 122, US 137, and US 138.

IDENTIFICATION interview 23 September 2012

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, north of a seasonal stream contributing to Bāstora Çāĩ, c. 1.15 km west of the Grd Māmāk village and the river. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A flat site located north of a small seasonal stream. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.494 ha, amounting to 64% of the site area. Area A is located in the central part of the site. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small settlement from the Late Sasanian and Early Islamic periods, located on a terrace limited by the Bāstora Çāĩ and the Greater Zab. It is partly contemporaneous with US 145, lying on the opposite side of a seasonal stream, which is larger and has a longer history. Three other sites of a similar date were identified in the vicinity: US 146, US 148, and the US 152/US 153 complex, pointing to very intensive settlement during the early medieval period in the area.

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, north of a seasonal stream contributing to Bāstora Çāĩ, c. 1.12 km west-south-west of the Grd Māmāk village and the river DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A flat site located on the southern, higher bank of a small seasonal stream, opposite US 144. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.496 ha, B – 0.342 ha, amounting to 33% of the site area. Area A is located in the eastern part of the site, and Area B in the western part. DAMAGES. The site is under cultivation. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A village occupied from Early Islamic through to Ottoman times. A single Period 15 (Sasanian) sherd may suggest that the site was settled in that period, but the absence of Late Sasanian sherds makes this conclusion questionable. A more likely reconstruction of events is that the settlement founded on US 144 was moved to the southern, higher bank of the stream towards the end of the Sasanian period, and continued to be in use until a relatively recent time.

IDENTIFICATION survey 23 September 2012

DOCUMENTED ON: BIBLIOGRAPHY

LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, at the confluence of the Greater Zab and Bāstora Çāĩ , c. 1.35 km south of Grd Māmāk. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. A flat site located at the confluence of the Bāstora Çāĩ and the Greater Zab. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.316 ha, B – 0.072 ha, C – 0.224 ha, D – 0.032 ha, amounting to 34% of the site area. Area A is located in the northern part of the site, around an irrigation basin. Areas B and C lie, respectively, on the eastern and the western bank of an irrigation channel running south to north, while Area D is located in the western part of the site, close to the Greater Zab. DAMAGES. In 2012, most of the site was under cultivation; some irrigation installations were present (a concrete pool and a channel running on an earthen rampart) in the southernmost part. In 2017, the eastern part of the site was destroyed by gravel digging, also carried out immediately to the north and west of the site. It is very likely that these activities have entirely destroyed the site since our last visit to the site. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small site founded in the Sasanian period, and occupied until the Middle Islamic era. Several concentrations of pottery sherds visible on the surface (some of which were included in the collection areas) may either reflect the structure of the village (i.e. a dispersed settlement), or indicate the relocation of houses in the area over time.

DESCRIPTION LOCATION. On the middle Zab terrace, overlooking the Greater Zab river, c. 800 m south of Grd Māmāk. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE. The site is composed of a hill located on the bank of the Zab and a lower town area extending towards the north, east, and south. The mound and adjacent areas are covered by graves belonging to an active cemetery. AREAS COLLECTED. A – 0.044 ha, B – 0.309 ha, C – 0.354 ha, D – 0.077 ha, E – 0.390 ha, F – 0.529 ha, G – 0.649 ha, amounting to 69% of the site area. DAMAGES. The mound is covered by a cemetery, the low-lying part of which is still used by the inhabitants of Grd-ĩ Māmk village. Most of the lower town area was under cultivation in 2012. The site is threatened by the gravel digging around site US 146, located nearby to the south, which had already (in 2017) destroyed the southern part of Collection Area F at US 147. INTERPRETATION AND HISTORY. A small mounded site from the 3rd millennium BC, which expanded considerably during the 2nd millennium, when a flat settlement grew around the mound. During the Neo-Assyrian period, the site shrank to its core area, and the few Ottoman sherds found may be related to activity in the modern cemetery covering the mound. The site was indicated as one of the possible locations of a bridge over the Greater Zab (Fiey 1965, 183), but the UGZAR team did not record any remains of such a structure. The rock outcrops visible in the riverbed at the foot of the mound might have been misinterpreted as remnants of such a construction (see photos on pp. 529-531). Another site representing a similar occupational sequence is US 152, located c. 3.1 km to the north-east, east of the village of Kvrsor.
