I would say, that Middle-Earth would fit into Medieval times, probably early Medieval, as there are no cannons as I remember, only orc bombs, which were using black gunpowder, which was originally invented on Far East (China) before it came to Europe. I would believe that Saruman, who shows bombs to his Orcs, have learnt this technique from Sauron's eastern allies.
