===Bronze Age===
====Mittanni
Although the town appears to be unmentioned in [[cuneiform]] sources before the first millennium BC,<ref name="Hawkins, J.D 1975">Hawkins, J.D. "Hamath." ''Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie'', Vol. 4. Walter de Gruyter, 1975.</ref> the site appears to have been prosperous around 1500 BC, when it was presumably an Amorite dependency of [[Mitanni]], an empire along the [[Euphrates]] in northeastern Syria.<ref name="Ring1"/>
====Hittite
By around 1350 BC, Mitanni was overthrown by the [[Hittites]], who controlled all of northern Syria.
