Gird-i Rostam is a relatively small, but tall multi-period settlement mound in the easternmost part of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, directly on the border with Iran. Despite the extensive archaeological work carried out in the Sulaymaniyah region during the past two decades, the area of Gird-i Rostam remained largely unexplored. Since 2018 NYU and LMU have been joining forces to conduct excavations at the site under the auspices of the Directorate of Antiquities of Sulaymaniyah.
