In Ebla , Paolo Matthiae presents the results of 47 years of
excavations at this fascinating site, providing a detailed account
of Ebla's history and archaeology. Ebla grew from a small Early
Bronze Age settlement into an important trading and political
centre, which endured until its final destruction in c. 1600 BC .
The destruction of its royal palace c. 2300 BC was particularly
significant as it preserved the city's rich archives, offering a
wealth of information on its history, economy, religion,
administration, and daily life. The discovery of Ebla is a pivotal
moment in the history of archaeological investigations of the
twentieth century, and this book is the result of all the
excavation campaigns at Tell Mardikh- Ebla from 1964 until 2010,
when field operations stopped due to the war in Syria. Available
for the first time in English, Ebla offers a complete account of
one of the largest pre-classical urban centres by its discoverer,
making it an essential resource for students of Ancient Near
Eastern archaeology and history.
