Grai Resh is an ancient Near East archaeological site in the Nineveh Governorate of northwestern Iraq just south of the Sinjar Mountains.

Grai Resh may have been occupied as late as the Jemdat Nasr or Early Dynastic I period before being abandoned.

It has been suggested that site may have been, in the early 2nd millennium BC, the location of small Amorite kingdom of Kurda.

A large storage jar contained wheat and barley carbonized by the fire and others the remains of meat.

There was evidence of small scale lithic manufacturing in flint and obsidian producing mainly sickle blades.

A large number of surface pottery shards showed that the site actually extended out to an area of about 32 hectares.

There was no surface collection due to the crops being high at that season but in disturbed spots abundant 4th and 5th millennium BC shards were noted.

A significant amount of 2nd millennium BC shards were also seen prompting speculation that Grai Rash was the location of the small Amorite kingdom of Kurda.

[7] Shakhi Kora is a Late Chalcolithic (LC) ancient Near East archaeological site in lower Sirwan/ upper Diyala river valley of north-east Iraq, 10 kilometers to the south-west of the modern town of Kalar in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate.

After a sounding in 2018 prompted by reports of looting at the site it was excavated in 2019, 2022, and 2023 by a team from the University of Glasgow led by Claudia Glatz as part of the Sirwan Regional Project.

Organic residue analysis of some of the bowls showed they were used for meat (and possibly dairy) based stews.
