Does anyone know the modern name for the archaeological site identified with the Sumerian city Karkara?

Wikipedia says its Tell Qarqur, but im not sure because it says karkar en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Qarqaranother thing i found is here books.google.de/books?id=ZGjcLBYTUUgC&pg=PA53&lpg=PA53&dq=Karkarahere it is called bit karkara will search on. ############# just found a german page, entry is around 10 years old, which says: KARKARA - Karkara war Kultort des Wettergottes: es ist bisher nicht lokalisiert. that means that it was the city of the weather god and is not located yet ################ just looked at wikipedia for adad and there they link to the karkar page. so it looks like that it was discovered in the meantime and is indeed Tell Qarqur. i guess...  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_Qarqur |
