The NGO said another coalition raid targeted a house where a 42-member family was living in Bab Sinjar district in western Mosul on April 15.
Human Rights Watch believe a sinkhole south of Mosul, thought to be the largest site, may contain as many as 4,000 bodies.
The battle - for a city a lot smaller in size than Mosul yet still highly symbolic - is expected to be long and complex, given the array of opposing forces positioned around the city.
The U.S. military has said a U.S. -led coalition strike had hit an Islamic State-held area where residents and officials say as many as 200 civilians may have been killed.
Iraqi government forces, backed by USA advisers, artillery and air support, have cleared the east of Mosul and half of the west and are now focused on the Old City.
Pressed if he would be surprised if that fight continued into next year, he said, "In Raqqa city?"

ISIS militants fired rocket in western Mosul in Iraq.
However, during the fighting for west Mosul, relatively few militants had been brought to his facility.
"There's still another significant number of areas within Iraq that will. need to be cleared of Daesh, and. the Iraqi security forces are getting themselves ready for that eventuality - they know that it's coming", he said.
"Don't underestimate the ammunition", he said. "They are going to lose and the Iraqis will win".
"According to our information and our follow up, if ISIS were capable of using chemical weapons, they would have used it", Abadi said in Sulaimani, "But according to our information, they do not have that capability to use it".
