This study aims to examine the functions and roles of the royal sons at Ebla during the archival period, taking into account their kinship ties with other members of the royal family.
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.
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of Assyriology, leading to a renewal of the traditional methods upon which the discipline is built. These advancements range from the development of online databases for cuneiform texts to the incorporation of investigative tools from other disciplines, such as Social Network Analysis.
