ABSTRACT
Kar Tukulti-Ninurta (modern Tulul Akir) Mesopotamia, see map p. xviii. Residential city built by the Assyrian king Tukulti-Ninurta I (1244-1208 BC).
The town, which is only partly excavated, was surrounded by a rectangular wall. The palace was built on an artificial platform, and although no complete ground plan remains, fragments of wall paintings were discovered which feature stylised antithetically grouped animals and plant elements.
