[Article in Book] Family Matters. For an Interoperable Approach to the Study of Eblaite Society
The administrative tablets from Ebla’s Great Archive L.2769 primarily document the activities of the royal family, emphasizing their central role in palace administration. While these records focus on the ruling elite, they also mention numerous other individuals, often from distant regions, whose precise administrative relationships remain ambiguous. Eblaite scribes typically identified people by name and patronymic, occasionally substituting the latter with geographical origins.
