This third volume of the series Exploring Assur presents the results achieved at Assur, modern Qal’at Sherqat, through the 2025 fieldwork and analytical programme of the Assur Excavation Project, with a particular focus on the New Town. Edited by Karen Radner, Jana Richter, and Andrea Squitieri, the book contains contributions by Katleen Deckers, Eileen Eckmeier, Rafał A. Fetner, Helen Gries, Veronica Hinterhuber, F. Janoscha Kreppner, Karina Länger, Birgül Öğüt, Alessio Palmisano, Karen Radner, Jana Richter, Jens Rohde, Claudia Sarkady, Vanessa Schauer, Andrea Squitieri, and Poppy Tushingham. The excavations in trench NT1, first opened in 2023, substantially refine the stratigraphic sequence of the New Town. Most importantly, they provide crucial new evidence for the long-term continuity of occupation at Assur after its conquest in 614 BC. Two successive Hellenistic occupation phases can now be distinguished through excavation and radiocarbon dating: the earlier Building C and the later Building A. The newly identified Building C yielded evidence for textile production, including concentrations of loom weights and associated installations, while several graves integrated into the domestic architecture illuminate changing funerary practices during the Hellenistic period. Beneath these levels, the large late Neo-Assyrian Building B emerged as a substantial high-status residence with a central reception hall, courtyards, and associated rooms. According to the current reconstruction based on the 2025 and 2026 excavations, the building originally covered an area of approximately 770 square metres, placing it among the largest private residences presently known from Assur. The building evidently escaped destruction during the events of 614 BC, and preliminary ceramic analyses suggest that at least parts of the building remained in use well after the conquest of the city. The excavations therefore contribute significantly to current debates concerning continuity and transformation at Assur around 600 BC and afterwards. The interdisciplinary analytical programme considerably expands the environmental, organic, and inorganic dataset available for Assur. Geoarchaeological coring demonstrated that the city’s defensive moat may originally have exceeded five metres in depth and also clarified the construction history of several temples in the Inner City. Coring beneath the cella of the Ishtar Temple produced a layer of imported sand and a radiocarbon date reaching back into the Early Dynastic I period, pushing the earliest attested occupation of Assur into the early third millennium BC. No such layers were found underneath the Shamash and Anu-Adad temples. The small finds assemblage includes a bronze duck weight, bronze fibulae, fragmentary stone vessels made from serpentine and banded calcite and a clay cylinder seal from the Neo-Assyrian period, as well as various terracottas including the fragment of a male figurine wearing the distinct Macedonian hat called kausia: this very fine, double-mould-made specimen is likely an import and can be dated to the late fourth to first century BC. The cuneiform finds comprise fragments of inscribed bricks and clay cones of Middle Assyrian rulers including Puzur-Aššur III (ca. 1521–1498 BC) and Adad-nerari I (1305–1274 BC) that were reused in later architecture. Studies of basketry and leather remains provide exceptionally rare evidence for organic craft traditions in northern Mesopotamia, including what is very likely the first securely identified Neo-Assyrian basketry specimen: the remains of the basket found in Building B were manufactured using a twill plaiting technique and coated with bitumen for waterproofing. The leather finds originate from Hellenistic graves and document working techniques such as folding, embossing, and drawstring closures. Their preservation is due to vegetable tanning using tannin-rich plants such as oak, poplar, and mulberry, all attested in the archaeobotanical record at Assur. The ongoing archaeobotanical studies through charcoal analysis and palaeobotanical processing of the flotation light fraction are identifying an ever wider range of cultivated and imported woods and other plants, now including the first secure attestation of cedar (Cedrus sp.) and oats (Avena) at Neo-Assyrian Assur, while confirming the dominance of drought-resistant barley cultivation across time, with cereal processing undertaken within all excavated buildings. For the Neo-Assyrian period, there is solid evidence for local arboriculture, from tree prunings of fig and palm trees as well as vines used as fuel, and for vegetable growing, mainly pulses. Phytolith analyses undertaken in Hellenistic burial contexts demonstrated the intentional inclusion of plant materials in these graves. The analysis of human remains from Hellenistic graves revealed a predominantly young burial population, with all identifiable Hellenistic adults being female and very limited evidence for pathological conditions, while also providing rare insight into funerary practices and demography in post-Assyrian Assur. Particularly remarkable is the discovery of a dried fruit of Black Mulberry (Morus nigra), likely stored in a leather pouch kept on the body of the deceased, in an early Hellenistic grave, as this is the first securely identified ancient mulberry fruit from the Middle East. In addition to the excavation results, the volume contains a detailed study of the Selman House, originally constructed in 1904 as part of Walter Andrae’s excavation compound to house two key team members: the accountant Shaul Salman and the cook Raouf (“Father of one hundred and fifty dishes”), both from Hillah near Babylon. Later, it was occupied by the excavation’s imperial Ottoman representative Abdelkadir al-Pachachi, later the curator of antiquities at the newly established Iraq Museum in Baghdad. Through architectural and archival analysis, the chapter reconstructs the social world of early twentieth-century archaeology at Assur and traces the building’s continued use within the modern excavation project.
