Summary/Abstract: Despite decades of research, the geography of the Neo-AssyrianEmpire still has its obscure points and inadequately studied regions.One of these is an area directly east of the Assyrian heartland, in thehilly highlands of Kurdistan. The state of affairs is due to the region’slong inaccessibility because of the political situation in Iraq. Thispaper focuses on two particular toponyms: the land and the provinceof˘ Habruri and the city of˘ Hiptūnu. The location of both these topoiis discussed in light of data acquired recently during the fieldworkof the Upper Greater Zab Archaeological Reconnaissance (UGZAR)project in Iraqi Kurdistan.
