    The Excavations in the citadel of Cizre Castle Birca Belek
    (University of Basel, 2014-06) Kozbe, Gülriz; Alp, Mesut; Erdoğan, Nihat
    The archaeological excavations in the citadel of Cizre Castle (Birca Belek) under the auspices of Mardin Museum and financial support given by Governorship of Cizre are being carried out since May 2013. Cizre, in its historical name of Jazirat ibn ‘Umar, is a district of Şırnak Province in the Southeastern region of Turkey, located at the border to Syria, just to the north-west of the Turkish-Syrian-Iraqi tripoint. It is surrounded by the Tigris from the North, East and South, which has given its name deriving from the Arabic word for island, jazira/jazeera. Cizre is always an important town all through the history since it stands as a gateway connecting South, in other words, Upper Mesopotamia to North, to highland Anatolia. Even though its significance, the castle was being used by border guards till 2010 and there was no chance to excavate the area before. After herculean efforts, it was managed to remove the modern debris left from the buildings, use and demolition of the commandery located in this area for 35 years in order to uncover the architectural remains of the citadel. The oversized walls, stone pavements mostly constructed by cobbles lying together gray or white limestone or worked stones used together with baked bricks all imply the features of a inner bailey. Besides of diagnostic Middle and Late Islamic pottery, coins and other artifacts discovered at excavations are clues for the exact date of this occupation which the city walls have been hosted during the Islamic period.
