Extract

In a previous report we summarized the results of excavations undertaken by the Directorate-General of Antiquities at ‘Aqar Qūf (Dur-Kurigalzu) during the season beginning early in October 1943 and ending on February ioth, 1944. Work was next resumed at the beginning of November 1944 and continued until January 15th, 1945. The field staff consisted of Sayid Taha Baqir, M.A., Curator of the Iraq Museum, as Field Director, Sayid Mohammed Ali Mustafa as Architect, Sayid Izzeddin Sanduq as Registrar, and Sayid Sabri al-Dhiwebi as Camp Manager. All the photographs used to illustrate this report were taken by the Department's photographer, Antran Ivan. As during the previous seasons at this site, excavations were conducted under the guidance of Mr. Seton Lloyd, F.S.A., Technical Adviser to the Directorate-General.
