North-Eastern Palace
Excavations in the so-called "North-Eastern Palace" have proved that this building resting on a high mud brick terrace in the east of the citadel - which Max von Oppenheim considered as a "residential palace" of the Aramean period - was not found before the time of Assyrian supremacy (9th century) and was in use well into the Late Babylonian Epoch (6th century). Works at the so far unexplored southern wing of this building - which was used as an Assyrian governor's palace- have brought to light a detailled building chronology and rich inventory.
