Since 2011 am the director of the field research of the Faculty of History and Archaeology of the University of Athens in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (ELKE Nr. 10711) in Tell Nader and Tell Baqrta. Tell Nader is a rather small site (ca. 1 hectare big), which was inhabited from the Late Neolithic (7th mill.) to the early Neo-Assyrian (early 1st mill. BC) period. Tell Baqrta is one of the biggest archaeological sites in the Near East (ca. 95 hectares), bigger even than Ebla. It was inhabited from the 4th mill. to the Sassanid period. Its biggest extension is dated to the second half of the 3rd mill. An identification with the kingdom of Qabra is possible. The General Directorate of Antiquities in the Kurdistan Region financed an educational documentary about the excavation team of the University of Athens, as well as the one from the German Archaeological Institute (http://youtu.be/ qYleTE4bAw0).
