The Kurd Qaburstan Project explores the archaeology and history of a 4,000-year-old city in northern Mesopotamia. It is the largest site on the Erbil plain and has been identified with ancient Qabra, an influential city-state. Led by Dr. Tiffany Earley-Spadoni at the University of Central Florida and funded by the National Science Foundation, the project uncovers new insights into daily life in the Middle Bronze Age. Innovative scientific and digital approaches are revealing the city’s layout, social organization, and role in the ancient Middle East. We invite you to explore our project’s website to learn more about the latest discoveries.
