Nemrik 9, Archaeological site in Duhok Governorate, Iraq.
Nemrik 9 spans 1.8 hectares on a terrace above the Tigris River, positioned 1,500 meters from the riverbank at 345 meters elevation.
Polish archaeologists from the University of Warsaw conducted extensive excavations between 1985 and 1989, revealing multiple settlement phases from 9800 BCE.
The site contains sixteen carved bird heads, decorative beads, pendants, and shell ornaments that demonstrate early artistic expressions of Neolithic communities.
Visitors need to coordinate with local authorities in Duhok Governorate and arrange transportation, as the archaeological site lies in a remote location.
The excavations uncovered rounded buildings with post holes and benches made from mudbrick, along with communal courtyards indicating organized social structures.
