A Rock Relief of Shalmaneser III on the Euphrates

Abstract

Up to 1973 Assyrian rock reliefs found in Turkey numbered only a few. Those of Cudi Dağ and Birklin (“the Tigris Tunnel”) were published early in this century, while a further relief at Eğil in the province of Diyarbakir has been long known but not satisfactorily published until recently.In 1973, the author undertook systematic surveys with the help of assistants in the Adana Regional Museum, Cilicia, and was able to locate a Neo-Assyrian rock relief at Ferhath-Uzunoğlan Tepe, near Kozan in the province of Adana, which he reported and subsequently published. Later, in 1974, while on survey in the province of the Hatay (Antakya), he located what appeared to be a Neo-Assyrian open-air sanctuary at Karabur, with four rock reliefs depicting gods and in one case the human figure of a worshipper. These too were reported and published.
