Abstract

This article summarises the results achieved at Assur, chiefly in its New Town, through fieldwork and analyses undertaken in 2024 by the Assur Excavation Project. New information, including a further 15 radiocarbon dates, is presented for the Parthian-period cemetery, the Hellenistic Building A (including a late Seleucid bronze coin), the Neo-Assyrian Building B, and a newly discovered drainage shaft for the entire New Town’s wastewater, which was built during its original construction in the mid-second millennium BC.
