Abstract

The focus of this study is a recently discovered rock relief in the village of Olin/Elin/Yakınca, 30 km south-southeast of Midyat. This relief aligns with the route of Ashurnasirpal II's campaign in 879 BC, providing new insights into the Assyrian entry into the Tur Abdin region. The main objectives of the study are to identify and date the Elin relief by analyzing its location, execution, and iconography within the broader context of Ashurnasirpal II's military campaign.
