British Museum excavations at Nimrud and Balawat in 1989

Rapport de fouilles de 2 sites mesopotamiens datant du 2nd empire assyrien (9eme-7eme siecle av. J.-C.). Les travaux entrepris a Nimroud ont porte essentiellement sur le degagement de la piece T20 de la forteresse de Salmanazar 3, et sur la collecte du materiel (elements d'armures et d'armes en bronze et en fer ; petits objets en os, en verre et en faience ; plaques d'ivoire gravees ; briques emaillees ; poteries). A Balawat, les fouilles plus modestes avaient surtout pour but de verifier la possibilite de reprendre les recherches d' H.Rassam, mais on y a mis au jour, entre autre, des objets en argile et des sceaux.
