The two sites of Muqable I and III in the province of Duhok in Iraq-Kurdistan are being excavated since 2015 in the frame of the joint project KUGAMID of the University of Tübingen and die Directorate of Antiquities at Duhok. The aim of the excavations is, on the one hand, to investigate the Late Chalcolithic pre-stages of the Northern Mesopotamian urbanisation and, on the other hand, to study a subordinate settlement in the environs of the Early to Late Bronze Age urban centre of Bassetki.
Pfälzner et al. (2024) studied this question.
