Presentation

Abstract on the discoveries of cuneiform texts at Tell Mardikh/Ebla and contrast with what was known before 1968. Main scientific debates on archival texts since 1970, with typological analysis. Subsequent discussion of post-Ebla archive texts and related issues (from the Amorrite question to the Freilassung found at Boğazköy/Hattusa).
