Scope and Contents:
The inventory numbers noted in the sketchbooks refer to entries in the Samarra Fundjournal (No.S-1) where rough sketches accompany detailed descriptions, location of finds, etc., cross-referenced to the sketchbooks of measured drawings. In the Fundjournal, the unpublished Houses have been re-numbered. Herzfeld used "In." as the abbreviation of Inventory in all his references, so that is used here.
- The first of a series of eighteen sketchbooks (Skizzenbücher), in which Ernst Herzfeld recorded his observations on archaeological remains, artifacts and decorative motifs, related to the congregational mosque; the palace of the Caliph (Dār al-Khilāfa, Bayt al-Khalīfah, Jawsaq al-Khaqani); the palace of Balkuwārā; the Qaṣr al-ʿĀshiq; and finally the residential architecture.
- The identification of the residential sites: "Herzfeld numbered all sites while the excavation was still in progress. When it became obvious that two courtyards with adjacent rooms turned out to belong to the same complex, however, he assigned new numbers. Herzfeld gave numbers to sixteen houses in various locations, splitting certain buildings into [a or b], naming in all twenty-four different sites. [...]. Unfortunately, Herzfeld changed the numbering of the houses a third time when he finished the final drawings for the publication, including only fourteen houses. [...]. In those cases in which Herzfeld noted on his field sketch either the name of the area or the new numbering of the house we can at least identify the site. These records indicate al-Quraina (Qurainah) as the location of Houses I to VI, [...], the area of Ṣūr ʿĪṣā with Houses VIII and IX, [...]." [Leisten, Thomas, 2003: "Excavation of Samarra, v. I.

- Original caption reads, "Tafel X (Doppeltafel). Plan von Balkuwārā."
- Additional information reads, "During the relatively short period of work at Manqūr / Balkuwārā in the summer and early fall of 1911, Herzfeld's efforts focused mainly on the central reception block between the third courtyard and the so-called river garden above the Tigris, especially on the eastern Īwān and some adjacent easterly rooms. He surveyed the rest of the reception block of the palace, including the cruciform domed hall in the center as well as the courtyard houses and ancillary complexes with the two maidāns to the south and north and added their general outlines, as far as they were visible among the ruins, to the plan. Herzfeld was certainly interested in the main architectonic features of the palace, but at the same time had hoped to uncover new varieties of stucco wall ornaments and to make major ceramic finds. In both he was disappointed. This probably contributed to his decision to stop the work on the site at the end of September 1911." [Leisten, Thomas, 2003: "Excavation of Samarra, v. I.

Scope and Contents:
- Original caption reads, "Samarra, mittelteil von Balkuwārā."
- Additional information reads, "During the relatively short period of work at Manqūr / Balkuwārā in the summer and early fall of 1911, Herzfeld's efforts focused mainly on the central reception block between the third courtyard and the so-called river garden above the Tigris, especially on the eastern Īwān and some adjacent easterly rooms. He surveyed the rest of the reception block of the palace, including the cruciform domed hall in the center as well as the courtyard houses and ancillary complexes with the two maidāns to the south and north and added their general outlines, as far as they were visible among the ruins, to the plan. Herzfeld was certainly interested in the main architectonic features of the palace, but at the same time had hoped to uncover new varieties of stucco wall ornaments and to make major ceramic finds. In both he was disappointed. This probably contributed to his decision to stop the work on the site at the end of September 1911." [Leisten, Thomas, 2003: "Excavation of Samarra, v. I. Architecture : Final report of the first campaign 1910-1912. Verlag Philipp von Zabern, Mainz am Rhein, 2003. p.91."]
