Description:
As the waters of the Saddam Dam rose in 1984-5 the British Museum battled to record an important Late Assyrian site on the east bank of the Tigris. Part of a 7th-century BC building was uncovered. Specialist reports on the ceramics, bones and shells recovered provide further clues to daily life outside the Assyrian capital cities. Due to the fragmentary nature of the evidence recovered, this report lacks any real discussion of the significance of the site or the meaning of the evidence.
