Urkesh Global Record: A12

     The Urkesh Global Record provides the fullest documentation available, sorted by excavation units.
     A12 is the area that includes the monumental underground structure that has been interpred as a Hurrian ābi, i.e., a "Passage to the Netherworld," where deities were summoned through special rituals (see, e.g., Kelly-Buccellati 2002).
