The aim of the LoNAP1 is to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the cultural and natural landscapes of the important region of northern Mesopotamia, which straddles the provinces of Ninawa and Dohuk (Northern Iraqi Kurdistan), and to ensure their development and protection in innovative ways. The investigated region consists of the area bordered by the plain of Dohuk and the foothills of the Zagros to the North, the lake formed by the Eski Mosul dam to the West, and the Navkur plain that extends from the Jebel Maqloub to the Al-Khazir river valley and beyond to the South and East (Fig. 1). This vast region, which had so far never been explored by means of a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, played a key role in the cultural dynamics that have affected Northern Mesopotamia from prehistoric times until the Islamic periods.

Abstract
The aim of the LoNAP1 is to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the cultural and natural landscapes of the important region of northern Mesopotamia, which straddles the provinces of Ninawa and Dohuk (Northern Iraqi Kurdistan), and to ensure their development and protection in innovative ways. The investigated region consists of the area bordered by the plain of Dohuk and the foothills of the Zagros to the North, the lake formed by the Eski Mosul dam to the West, and the Navkur plain that extends from the Jebel Maqloub to the Al-Khazir river valley and beyond to the South and East (Fig. 1). This vast region, which had so far never been explored by means of a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, played a key role in the cultural dynamics that have affected Northern Mesopotamia from prehistoric times until the Islamic periods.
