Many archaeological campaigns have been carried out at Tell Afis (55 km south of Aleppo). They have revealed a rich urban history from the fourth to the first millennium b.c.e. The acropolis of the mound was occupied by a walled town during the Late Chalcolitic period. In the Middle Bronze period the site expanded with a lower town. In the Late Bronze Age it belonged to the Hittite Empire. During the ninth century b.c.e., under King Zakkur, it became the capital of an Aramaic state with the name of Hazrak/Hattarikka
