The urban history of Arbil, present-day capital of the Federal Region of Kurdistan / Iraq, can be traced by written sources from the 22nd century BC until today. Earliest vestiges of human settlement can be dated as early as the 5th / 4th millennium BC, if not earlier. Whereas the citadel of Arbil - appointed World Heritage in 2014 and widely known, may have been occupied from the same time onwards, almost nothing is known about the occupation of the lower town of Arbil, its city wall and infrastructural remains of the settlement, which may have started during the Neo-Assyrian period (9th to 7th century BC). Although widely covered by modern housing or partly destroyed, soundings resulted in the identification of remains of the morphology of the occupied area as well as of extended settlement areas. The project focusses on the ancient lower town area of Arbil. It is aimed at systematically investigating its nature and extension by surveying open areas and modern construction areas. A DEM (3D) will be generated by the combined use of stereo satellite imagery and geodetic ground data. A further goal of the project consists of estimating the potential for reconstructing the geomorphology of ancient Arbil as well as on laying the foundations for an archaeological history of occupation of Arbil by systematically recording, analysing and mapping visible archaeological remains in the lower town area.

埃尔比勒的城市历史，今天的首都联邦地区的库尔德斯坦/伊拉克，可以追溯到书面来源，从公元前22世纪直到今天。最早的人类定居遗迹可以追溯到公元前5/4千年，如果不是更早的话。虽然埃尔比勒城堡在2014年被指定为世界遗产，并且广为人知，可能从同一时间开始被占领，但对埃尔比勒下城的占领几乎一无所知，其城墙和定居点的基础设施遗迹可能始于新亚述时期（公元前9至7世纪）。虽然被现代住房广泛覆盖或部分被毁，但测深结果确定了被占领地区以及扩展定居区的形态遗迹。该项目的重点是埃尔比勒古老的下城区。其目的是通过调查开放地区和现代建筑区，系统地调查其性质和范围。将综合使用立体卫星图像和大地测量地面数据生成数字高程模型（三维）。该项目的另一个目标是评估重建古代埃尔比勒地貌的潜力，并通过系统地记录、分析和绘制下城区可见的考古遗迹，为埃尔比勒被占领的考古史奠定基础。
