The Harvard-Baghdad School Expedition (American Schools of Oriental Research, A.S.O.R) was sent to Excavate Nuzi near Kirkuk
in Iraq. The expedition members consisted of staff from the Fogg Museum of Art, the Harvard Semitic Museum, and A.S.O.R.,
Baghad. Excavations commenced in 1927-1928. From 1929 to 1931, the University Museum extended financial aid and the services
of a helper, C.Bache, in return for his field training. Very few records pertaining to this excavation are available in the
Museum’s Archives, probably reflecting the Museum’s limited participation. Where possible, a chronological order was imposed
on the Near East records.
