Iraqi excavators unearthed and reconstructed this 260 m² temple in 1979–81. The identification of the building as the temple of the goddess Ašratu is based on the fact that the Babylonian topographical text Tintir = Babylon Tablet IV lists four temples in the Ka-dingirra district (modern Sahn). Because the other three temples in this part of Babylon (Eniggidrukalamasuma, Emašdari, and Emah) have been securely identified from in-situ inscriptions, it is plausible that Ehilikalamma should be identified with Temple D II.
