Looks like a cough drop.

I presume they carbon date it somehow? They make and sell modern reproductions for tourists that look just like this with various stones.
Looks like no dating has been done yet, but stones, tools, and jewelry are usually dated from it’s surroundings and additional artifacts found at the scene. Here’s some more details on the find: https://arkeonews.net/rare-2800-year-old-assyrian-scarab-seal-amulet-found-in-tabor-nature-reserve/
Wouldn’t carbon dating Amber be like “wow this is millions of years old”?
Good point, you’d have to do it from surrounding strata of earth like @streetman mentioned they did.
