This is the first major English-language volume describing the multidisciplinary archaeological research at Ebla. Using an innovative regional landscape approach, the 29 contributions to this expansive volume examine Ebla in its regional context through lenses of archaeological, textual, archaeobiological, archaeometric, geomorphological, and remote sensing analysis. In doing so, they are able to provide us with a detailed picture of the constituent e 606 $aLandscape archaeology$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aSocial archaeology$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aCity and town life$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aMaterial culture$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aGeomorphology$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aPlant remains (Archaeology)$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 606 $aAnimal remains (Archaeology)$zSyria$zEbla (Extinct city) 607 $aEbla (Extinct city)$xAntiquities 607 $aEbla (Extinct city)$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLandscape archaeology 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aCity and town life 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aMaterial culture 615 0$aGeomorphology 615 0$aPlant remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aAnimal remains (Archaeology) 676 $a939.4/33 701 $aMarchetti$b Nicolo$f1968-$0365388 701 $aMatthiae$b Paolo$039169 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465636103321 996 $aEbla and its landscape$92127567 997 $aUNINA
