Bassetki (Kurdish: باستکێ, romanized: Bassetkî)[1][2] is a small village in Iraq, in Dohuk Governorate of autonomous Kurdistan Region.

[3] Since 2016, archaeological excavations have been conducted in Bassetki by the Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies team from the University of Tübingen and Hasan Qasim from the Directorate of Antiquities in Dohuk.

These tablets reveal the location of the ancient lost royal city of Mardaman that may have once stood where Bassetki lies today.

[8] In the same room of the governor's building a number of Faience objects were found including bowls, ornaments, and tokens.

[10] Excavations at the nearby site of Muqable, 5 kilometers southeast of Bassetki, have revealed a Middle Assyrian rural building complex.
