A very productive week for our team members at the @ASOResearch meeting in Chicago. We presented the results of the past two field seasons among colleagues and familiar faces. Thanks, among others, to @jasonalikur, @najatga, @petramcreamer, @archbot44, and all the GMAP friends.

[gMAP @gMAP_Erbil]

Thanks to @fanpage for this much appreciated - and very much enjoyable- interview (in Italian): it is always nice to proudly discuss our most recent discoveries.

@sm9eb Transition between Ubaid and LC.

[gMAP @gMAP_Erbil]

The team is back to their homes in KRG or Europe/North America for a week by now. We figured this is the right time to share some shots from our past field season. #archaeology #mesopotamia #kurdistan #iraq

Stay tuned for some LC cool stuff. #archaeology #mesopotamia #iraq #kurdistan

Today's update comes from Area B, the mainly Chalcolithic step-trench on Mound 1. We have dug up an impressive amount of ceramics for such a relatively small area. #mesopotamia #archaeology #iraq #kurdistan

@Demetra84056965 Thanks :)

We wanted to be part of the “change your logo” challenge. We do think this Late Chalcolithic animal head figurine is way better than any random X you could find online these days. #archaeology #mesopotamia #kurdistan #iraq
