This palace was excavated in 1993 under the direction of Muzahim Mahmud Hussein. The palace of Adad-nārārī III (r. 810-783 BC), together with the Upper Chambers, have been described as exceptional. Julian Reade (2011: 117) has suggested that "This strange elevated building would have been an appropriate residence for Sammu-ramat, Adad-nirari’s mother, who clearly had great power during at least the early years of her son’s reign. It would be an example of a palace built specifically for a member of the royal family." The walls of the palace are reported to have been thick, covered with white plaster, and painted with geometric and floral motifs.
