Location?

[edit]

Can someone please provide more accurate coordinates? ♆ CUSH ♆ 12:23, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed.--Zoeperkoe (talk) 12:56, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What is the source for these coordinates? I have imprecise coordinates at 35°04′26″N 44°14′39″E / 35.073951°N 44.244075°E / 35.073951; 44.244075 (Tell al-Fakhar?) from here, but that's far far away from your placemark ♆ CUSH ♆ 14:26, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. And an interesting onlince source; I did not know that. There seems to be some confusion on the location of this site (which does not surprise me). I will look into it.--Zoeperkoe (talk) 15:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have found other coordinates in the vicinity of those I posted, but none seem to be accurate. However, the region is somewhat limited by the description given on that website as "ca. 45km south-west of Kirkuk and 35km south-west of Yorghan Tepe (Nuzi) in Iraq". In my own database I have this entry :-) ♆ CUSH ♆ 15:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am pretty sure those coords are incorrect. The site report does not mention a wadi next to the site. It does however say that there is a wadi 2km north of Fakhar. Plus that your identification is almost due south of Kirkuk/Nuzi, instead of SW. But I keep looking into it.--Zoeperkoe (talk) 16:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Very good. I want this placemark for my own collection as well :-) What site report do you use? I would like to have information about settlement phases. ♆ CUSH ♆ 17:13, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What I used is in the bibliography. However, you will need a good university library to find these; none of it is accessible online.--Zoeperkoe (talk) 17:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
