Description
Summary:The foothills belt of northeastern Iraq, between the Mesopotamian lowland and the Zagros Mountains, is marked by linear ridges alternating with broad valleys or plains. In one of these intermontane valleys, the Chemchemal Plain, are located three open sites excavated by the Oriental Institute and the American Schools of Oriental Research. Detailed studies were made of the intimate relation of these sites to the landforms and physiographic history of the Chemchemal Plain.
