Between 1903 and 1914, Ashur was excavated by the Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft (DOG), under the direction of Walter Andrae; the expedition had been planned as early as 1898. In 1979, the Iraqi Antiquities Administration continued exploring the city; this lasted (intermittently) until 2002. New German excavations took place in 1988-89 (Reinhard Dittmann, Free University Berlin), 1989-1990 (Barthel Hrouda, University of Munich) and 2000-01 (Peter A. Miglus, University of Halle). Since 1997, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft has sponsored the Aššur project, which was established by the German Oriental Society and the Museum of the Ancient Near East in order to scientifically examine the German excavation of 1903-1914. Since 2003, Ashur has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
