Rescue excavation uncovers a Mittani period palace in the Kurdistan Region, indicating the site's historical significance.
In autumn 2018, the low water level of the Mosul Lake allowed rescue excavations to be carried out at the archaeological site of Kemune. The excavations revealed parts of a large building, probably a palace, dating to the Mittani period. Within the building, cuneiform tablets, seal impressions, remains of wall paintings and a huge amount of pottery were found. One cuneiform text indicates that Kemune was probably the ancient city of Zaḫiku.
