Tobler Arthur J. Excavations at Tepe Gawra

London: Geoffrey Cumberlege: Oxford University Press, 1950. — 469 p.The first volume of the present series of publications reporting on the excavations at Tepe Gawra, a mound about fifteen miles northeast of Mosul, Iraq, was devoted to an account of Strata I through VIII.1 Those levels had been uncovered in the course of two seasons' work, in 1931 and 1932, in addition to an initial trial dig of fifteen days in 1927, when a sounding trench had been excavated on the southeast slope of the mound. The present work is an account of the excavations conducted at Gawra in the years 1932 through 1938. In the five campaigns undertaken during that period Strata IX through XX were investigated, in full or in part, in addition to certain areas at the base of the mound, where remains still earlier than the period represented by Stratum XX were discovered.
