This paper is a study about two graves from the Middle Assyrian cemetery in Mari (Syria). The presence of iron arrowheads between the funeral furniture has served to make an approach to the process of introduction of this new metal in the Near East in the Late Bronze Age. The written and archaeological documentation demonstrates that the iron was considered as a precious metal, used by Assyrian elites to show its social position.
