This page
is the Homepage and Index for the data being accumulated by LEARNING SITES
in preparation for comprehensive interactive reports on the structures
(palaces, temples, ziggurat, gates, palatial buildings, and houses of
officials)
on the citadel at Nimrud/Kalhu, Assyria (Iraq).
Remains
of earlier strata were discovered below the buildings marked here with
an '*'.
Major
buildings were used in one way or another until the end of the Assyrian
Empire, some into the Neo Babylonian and/or Persian periods; and there
was a Hellenistic settlement on the citadel.
