The Middle Assyrian period in Syria dates from 1350 to 900 BCE. Tell Sabi Abyad is an archaeological site in Northern Syria. During the Middle Assyrian period, a so-called fortress was built there. In total 39 graves were found, 25 of them included jewelry. The majority of finds were beads made of stones, faience or bronze, only a few were made of gold or silver.
The most significant find is a gold earring. Almost identical was found in Assur (now Iraq).
