Joylashuv

tahrir

Qalat Sukar Gʻarraf kanalining (shumerlar 4000 yil avval qazgan eski kanal) gʻarbidagi tizma ustida joylashgan. Qalat Sukkar qadimgi Shumer shahri boʻlmish Larsa qoldiqlaridan 6 km shimoli-sharqda joylashgan[2]. Qalat Sukkarni Larsa Telldan zamonaviy drenaj kanali ajratib turadi[2].

Jeyms Abbott Sauer va Xair Yasinning fikriga koʻra, mintaqadagi sobiq botqoqliklar[3] tufayli Qalat Sukkarda IX asrda shakarqamish yetishtirila boshlagan[4]. Shundan keyin shakar ishlab chiqarish yoʻlga qoʻyilib, hudud nomi aynan shu ishlab chiqarish zavodidan kelib chiqqan[5].

Eng yaqin yirik shahar Nosiriya boʻlib, shaharda 587 ming kishi istiqomat qiladi.
