Archive Reports

You can find out more about our investigations and our preliminary results by downloading our Archive Reports below. Members of the CZAP team compiled their reports following each field season and presented their findings to the Sulaimaniya Directorate of Antiquities and Heritage.

In these volumes, you can read summaries of our activities, our key discoveries, and provisional interpretations based on the seasons’ endeavours. These documents are intended as snapshots of our changing and evolving understanding of the archaeology and may differ from our final results, which we will publish in the near future.
