Abstract
This article presents the results of the fieldwork carried out in 2022 and 2023 at the site of Nimrud, ancient Kalhu, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania's Nimrud Project, a part of the Iraq Heritage Stabilization Program. The operations to date have concentrated on the Citadel, focusing on the Ishtar and Ninurta temple complex in the north, and the "Upper Chambers" / Palace of Adad-nerari III on the western side of the mound. The guiding principle has been to work towards the rehabilitation of Nimrud as a cultural asset of international importance following the damage inflicted on the site in 2015–16.
