Ancient Settlement in the Zammar Region Volume 2 Excavations at Tell Abu Dhahir BAR International 1st Edition by St John Simpson ISBN 1407301667 978-1407301662

This volume forms the second of four projected volumes on the results of the British excavations carried out at seven sites between September 1985 and June 1986 in the Zammar Region of the Eski Mosul Dam Salvage Project. The first volume, dealing with the first six excavated sites, has already appeared. The third volume, on the pottery, and the fourth, covering the small finds and specialist studies, are in preparation. This volume deals with the single site of Tell Abu Dhahir, treated at greater length because it was excavated more extensively, with most periods represented by significant remains. The early modern remains are of particular importance, for the village was abandoned in modern times, allowing more through excavation.
