[PhD Dissertation] Social History Through Textual Patterns: Study on the Social Organization at Ebla During the Age of the Archives (Syria, 24th Century Bce)

The objective of this research is to propose a model of Eblaite society by utilizing the data present in the Royal Archives’ documentation. To achieve this, the study employs keywords derived from the Ebla texts that designate various professional categories. Through the application of a sociological and socio-historical methodology, a model is developed that enables an understanding of the levels of interaction and hierarchical structure characterizing different elements within Eblaite society.
