Qalat-i Dinka

Qalat-i Dinka is an archaeological excavation site in Iraq, which is located on the Little Zab, in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate, in the very north-east of the country.

Excavations have been taking place there since 2016 after a fragment of a cuneiform tablet came to light by chance.

Modern robbery excavations have often disrupted the archaeological layers, which makes exploring the ruins more difficult.

[2] Earlier remains dating back to the Copper Age have also been found in various places in the city.

One building that may have belonged to a wealthy citizen of the city had a large hall, the floor of which is paved with bricks.
