Summary/Abstract: The Upper Tigris Region, which has a large underground and overground richness, forms the geographical boundaries of this research. 11th century BC, The Assyrian State, which began to reign in the region, became the pioneer of a number of applications in the sense of professional state awareness. 9th century BC, the Neo Assyrian State has adopted a perfect administrative structure and has left behind a number of material cultural items while residing in the region. Interpretation of existing materials will contribute to what purpose Assyrian presence in the region emerges. The clues lie in the interpretation of ceramic traditions, rock reliefs, stellar, clay tablets, burial customs and philological sources. The chronological boundary of the our work includes the Neo Assyrian period. As a result of the deployment of the new Assyrian state in the region, the examination of its relations with the Nairi, Arami and Şubria societies provides us with important information about the propagation policy. A number of interpretations put forward within the geography and chronological boundaries mentioned in this study have been tried to be put forward together with archaeological and philological sources.
