I checked my copy of Ran Zadok's Geographical Names According to New- and
Late-Babylonian Texts (Wiesbaden, 1985), looking for any thing like
Ur-Kasdim (English: Ur of the Chaldees) without any success. This book is a
compilation of geographical sites culled from cuneiform tablets dating from
the 10th century BCE to the 1st century CE.

There is a Pikhat uru Kaldu (p.426)

All the best,
