Extract

Between May 20th and June 8th, 1939, I visited the Sinjar district on behalf of the Department of Antiquities of the Government of Iraq, and, assisted by the Department's chief inspector, Hussein Awni, made soundings in three mounds which had attracted my attention during an archaeological survey of that area recently published in this Journal. The results of two of these soundings are described below. Our work at the third site, Gu' Kummet, will be published elsewhere, and consisted of clearing up certain doubtful points raised during the removal earlier in the year of a fine, sculptured mihrab which has now found a place in the Islamic Museum in Baghdad.
